| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Exhaustive attempts to detect Wolbachia infection were unsuccessful in Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Culex vishnui, Culex pseudovishnui, Culex bitaeniorhynchus, Culex orientalis, Culex nigropunctatus, Culex sasai and Aedes japonicus in Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and Cambodia. Wolbachia infection was detected in only Culex pipiens. Molecular identification and comparison of the mosquitoes based on morphological features was achieved by amplification and sequencing of the 1,537-nucleotide mtDNA COI gene. Genetic diversities of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus without Wolbachia were more than a few percent but diversities of Cx. pipiens with Wolbachia were about 0.2-0.3%, suggested that Wolbachia infection might be effected for biological diversities of Cx. pipiens.
