MULLER, Gerson Azulim; MARCONDES, Carlos Brisola  y  NAVARRO-SILVA, Mário Antônio. Application of microsatellite markers for the study of Culicidae (Diptera): a review with special reference to Haemagogus. Bol Mal Salud Amb [online]. 2010, vol.50, n.2, pp.175-186. ISSN 1690-4648.

Microsatellite molecular markers are characterized by neutrality, high polymorphism and wide distribution with high abundance in the genome of eukaryotes. Its use in studies related to species of mosquito vectors is ideal for genetic and physical mapping, for the identification and discrimination of genotypes and genetic studies of populations. This review summarizes and provides information on studies involving mosquitoes by using microsatellite markers and suggests avenues of research to better understand the biology and dynamics of transmission of Yellow Fever virus by Haemagogus mosquitoes.
