Abstract

The adaptation of insect vectors of human diseases to breed in human habitats (domestication) is one of the most important phenomena in medical entomology. Considerable data are available on the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti in this regard and here we integrate the available information including genetics, behaviour, morphology, ecology and biogeography of the mosquito, with human history. We emphasise the tremendous amount of variation possessed by Ae. aegypti for virtually all traits considered. Typological thinking needs to be abandoned to reach a realistic and comprehensive understanding of this important vector of yellow fever, dengue and Chikungunya.

Evolutionary history of Aedes aegypti from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and sequenced nuclear genes. Bootstrapped neighbour-joining network based on population pairwise chord-distances from 1,504 SNPs (left). Bayesian population tree based on phased DNA sequences of genes listed in Table. Node support over 75% is shown on relevant branches. East African populations are shaded in red, West and Central African populations in pink, the Rabai domestic (called Aaa here) population in purple, New World populations in dark blue and Asia-Pacific populations in light blue. Rooting was inferred from DNA sequences of three nuclear genes from Aedes mascarensis ( Brown et al. 2013 ).
