- Abstract
We characterized the variability of mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, subgenus Stegomyia, in the south of European Russia and in the Far East of Russia: in Primorsky krai, Khabarovsk krai, Amur oblast, and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. We aimed to identify new invasive species of mosquitoes of the subgenus Stegomyia and to document expansion of the range of Aedes albopictus. We analyzed samples of mosquitos on the basis of a combination of mosquito identification by morphological features and DNA barcoding. We compared the variability of the Ae. albopictus invasive population of in southern Russia with the variability of Ae. albopictus population of the native range of northern Vietnam. We found further expansion of Ae. albopictus in the south of the European part of Russia, westward to the territory of the southern coast of Crimea, and northward to the city of Tikhoretsk in Krasnodar krai. We found Ae. flavopictus in Primorsky krai and Khabarovsk krai. In Amur oblast, we found Ae. galloisi. The northern and eastern borders of the range of Ae. flavopictus coincide with the isotherms of +20°C in July and –24°C in January. We found synanthropic dense populations of Ae. flavopictus and Ae. galloisi in the Russian Far East for the first time. Analysis of variability of the BOLD fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene revealed nine new mitochondrial haplotypes of Ae. galloisi and ten new haplotypes of Ae. flavopictus. The analysis of the obtained nucleotide sequences reveals the exact clustering of the haplotypes, with 100% bootstrap value, corresponding to the species Ae. flavopictus, Ae. galloisi, Ae. albopictus, and Ae. aegypti. We did not find cases of mitochondrial introgression between Ae. flavopictus and Ae. galloisi in the area of sympatric habitant of these species. Synanthropic populations of Ae. flavopictus, Ae. galloisi, and Ae. albopictus are close to monomorphism.
