Table 1. Genetic diversity of Aedes aegypti populations.
Locality | Ho | He | AR |
San Mateo | 0.4635 | 0.4949 | 3.65 |
Madera | 0.5563 | 0.5435 | 3.53 |
Fresno | 0.4904 | 0.5254 | 3.67 |
Pantropical* ± SD | 0.5153±0.0760 | 0.5166±0.0764 | 3.6206±0.5681 |
Lab strains** ± SD | 0.3015±0.1840 | 0.3052±0.1963 | 2.1633±0.6104 |
Ho = observed heterozygosity; He = expected heterozygosity; AR = Allelic richness estimated by rarefaction (N = 30 genes).
*Pantropical = mean across populations from Asia and the Americas.
**Lab strains = mean across Hamburg, Rockefeller, and Liverpool laboratory strains provided by David Severson (University of Notre Dame, Indiana).
