Mosquito eDNA sequences

The monitoring of mosquitoes is of great importance due their vector competence for a variety of pathogens, which have the potential to imperil human and animal health. New monitoring methods based on environmental DNA (eDNA) could serve as a fast and robust complement detection system for mosquitoes. In this pilot study already existing marker systems targeting the three invasive mosquito species Ae. albopictus, Ae. japonicus and Ae. koreicus were used to detect these species from water samples via microfluidic array technology
