Populations of Aedes aegypti were collected in 1976 and 1979 from a number of different areas of New Orleans and analyzed for genetic variation of 12 isozyme loci. Although six loci were polymorphic, the majority of loci showed no significant genetic differentiation over time or between regions. The greatest amount of genetic differentiation was found between populations bordering the Mississippi River and the two inland areas, Mid-City and Mount Olivet. The low amount of genetic heterogeneity among areas is consistent with the known rapid spread and migration of A. aegypti in recent years. New Orleans A. aegypti are genetically most closely related to populations from Florida, and are less related to collections from several Caribbean islands with a recent history of epidemic dengue fever. Knowledge of the structure of A. aegypti populations in New Orleans, as well as their genetic relatedness to those of other regions, may provide important information concerning the potential of these populations as vectors of epidemic dengue fever.
1976年和1979年从新奥尔良的多个不同地区采集了埃及伊蚊种群，并对12个同工酶位点的遗传变异进行了分析。虽然有六个位点是多态性的，但大多数位点在不同时间或不同区域之间没有显示出显著的遗传分化。在密西西比河沿岸的种群与两个内陆地区（市中心和橄榄山）之间发现了最大程度的遗传分化。各地区之间遗传异质性较低，这与近年来埃及伊蚊已知的快速传播和迁移情况一致。新奥尔良的埃及伊蚊在基因上与来自佛罗里达的种群关系最为密切，与几个近期有登革热流行病史的加勒比岛屿的采集样本关系较小。了解新奥尔良埃及伊蚊种群的结构，以及它们与其他地区种群的遗传关系，可能会提供有关这些种群作为登革热流行传播媒介潜力的重要信息。
