Abstract Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arboviruses of great impact on human health. Our goal was to assess the spatial genetic structure of Ae. aegypti at the regional and local levels in Northwestern Argentina, an area with high prevalence of dengue fever. We analyzed 59 Ae. aegypti individuals collected from six locations in Northwestern Argentina using nuclear genome-wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) generated with double digest Restriction-site Associated DNA Sequencing. We also performed an entomological survey in 70 households in the cities of Orán and Tartagal. An analysis at the regional level indicated that the populations of Ae. aegypti in Northwestern Argentina are spatially structured and present a significant IBD pattern. Our results suggest that passive transport of eggs/immature stages, in both northward and southward directions, plays an important role in structuring Ae. aegypti populations at a regional scale and also as a source for the introduction of novel genetic variants through migration events into established populations. At a local level, we found neither spatial genetic structure nor significant isolation by distance (IBD) in Tartagal, indicating high gene flow within the city and active dispersal. In contrast, samples from Orán formed two clusters with a significant IBD pattern, although weaker than that at a regional level. Both populations showed signs of recent bottleneck events, probably coincident with past eradication campaigns. The entomological survey revealed a high prevalence of Ae. aegypti in both cities, although significantly higher in Tartagal.

AbstractThe objective of our study was to investigate the genetic structure of yet uninvestigated populations of three closely related horse breeds – the Danubian Horse, the Hungarian Nonius and the Serbian Nonius – in order to clarify their origin and genetic diversity. A 640-bp-long fragment of the mtDNA D-loop region was amplified and sequenced. The results showed that the investigated breeds have different genetic profiles although they share some common characteristics. We identified nine of the 17 haplogroups described in modern horses. Most of the obtained sequences fall into the M, L, G, and O’P lineages, which is indicative of the genetic profile of the ancestral mares that had probably been used at the initial stages of the formation of the breeds. The population of the Danubian Horse is characterised by a high prevalence of the Anatolian specific haplogroup G (45%), followed by the Western Eurasian specific haplogroups L and M (both about 21%). In the Hungarian Nonius breed we found the highest frequency of the Western Eurasian haplogroup M (44%), followed by the Middle Eastern O’P (26%) and the Central Asian specific E (13%) and G (13%). The Serbian Nonius showed a distinct genetic profile, characterised by a high prevalence of the rare European haplogroup D (67%), followed by the Central Asian specific haplogroup G (17%). The high percentage of haplogroups shared especially between the Danubian and the Hungarian Nonius indicates the possibility of a common origin of the two breeds. In contrast, the Serbian Nonius showed a specific genetic profile, which can be explained by a different and independent origin.
