The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is an anthropophilic aggressive daytime-biting
nuisance and an efficient vector of certain arboviruses and filarial nematodes. Over the last
30 years, this species has spread rapidly through human travel and commerce from its
native tropical forests of Asia to every continent except Antarctica. In 2011, a population of
Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) was discovered in Los Angeles (LA) County,
California. To determine the probable origin of this invasive species, the genetic structure of …
