Genetic Structure of Sympatric Populations of Female Lutzomyia Longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) In Sobral and Cariria�u, Cear� State, Brazil

Moises Thiago de Souza Freitas

Objectives: Accurate identification of these insects is critical to avoiding mistakes in the recognition of vector and non-vector species, so the invariant phenotypic patterns displayed by the females of L. longipalpis require the implementation of molecular methods of identification. Our goal was to examine genetic variation in the females of L. longipalpis using the SNPs reported in the males of this vector species.
