Molecular identification of Aedes bahamensis (Diptera: Culicidae)
Florida Entomologist 94 (4), 1057-1059
Abstract: Here we report novel rDNA ITS2 sequences for Aedes bahamensis and a species-specific PCR primer that produces a diagnostic 300 bp PCR product. This technique may be used to confirm the identity of damaged or degraded specimens that may not be readily identifiable using morphological characteristics.
