| dc.description.abstract | Aedes albopictus (Ae. albopictus), a competent vector of dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus, is a highly invasive species . It is considered as a public health threat throughout the world because of its high adaptability in both tropical and temperate regions of the world, aggressive spread, and vector competence (Chen et al., 2015). Despite being categorized as less efficient vector of DENV than Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti), Ae. albopictus is the principal vector that caused dengue epidemics (Cancrini et al., 2003). Therefore, comprehensive studies on Ae. albopictus is important for understanding the mechanism underlying its aggressive spread, high adaptability, and vector competence. Numerous studies over the past several years have focused on Ae. aegypti, primarily due to the availability of genome information (Nene et al., 2007). The availability of genome sequence coupled with transcriptome data, facilitate the process of studying this species in great details (Nene et al., 2007; Akbari et al., 2013). Genetics and molecular studies done in Ae. albopictus are very limited due to the lack of genome sequence and transcriptome. Recently, a complete genome sequence and transcriptome data of Ae. albopictus have been released; thereby, allowing extensive genetic and molecular analyses of this particular species (Chen et al., 2015). | en_US |
