Abstract
Scanning electron microscopy and molecular characterization of Aedes albopictus larvae were done. Analysis of 28S rRNA gene sequence of Aedes albopictus Burdwan-SNC1 (KC208593) revealed comparatively higher GC content. Phylogenetic tree was prepared using the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method. Phylogenetic tree revealed that Aedes albopictus Burdwan-SNC1 (KC208593) branched with the cluster containing of Aedes palauensis A26, Aedes hensilli A25, Aedes riversi A51A, Aedes dybasi A28, Aedes galloisi A77, Aedes flavopictus A47, Aedes albopictus A22, Aedes albopictus A34, Aedes albopictus MQSRNAGN and also branched with the cluster containing Aedes aegypti A20 and Aedes wadai A85. Scanning electron micrographs of Aedes albopictus larvae revealed that the structural complexity and number of both comb scales and pecten spines increased with larval growth and development. Similar results were revealed by anal papillae of abdominal segments.
