is the primary vector for serious diseases, including those caused by chikungunya, dengue, and Zika viruses. In 2017, the Southern Nevada Health District first detected this invasive species in Clark County, NV, including in the city of Las Vegas. We analyzed from the city of North Las Vegas to determine the likely source of the invasion. We genotyped a sample of at 12 highly variable microsatellites and analyzed the data in reference to published data from 25 sites in the southern USA. We found that the in Las Vegas most likely invaded from southern California. Knowing the source of new invasions may provide information about the invading population (e.g., previous insecticide exposure) and can help prevent future invasions from the region.
是包括基孔肯雅热、登革热和寨卡病毒引起的疾病在内的严重疾病的主要传播媒介。2017年，内华达州南部卫生区首次在内华达州克拉克县，包括拉斯维加斯市，检测到这种入侵物种。我们分析了北拉斯维加斯市的 以确定入侵的可能来源。我们对 的一个样本在12个高度可变的微卫星上进行了基因分型，并参照美国南部25个地点的已发表数据对数据进行了分析。我们发现拉斯维加斯的 很可能是从南加利福尼亚入侵的。了解新入侵的来源可能会提供有关入侵种群的信息（例如，以前接触过杀虫剂的情况），并有助于防止该地区未来的入侵。
