Molecular Characterization of Culicoides Species and Their Vector Potentials for Haemosporidia Infections in the İzmir Region of Türkiye
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objective: species distributed across different districts of İzmir province, reveal their molecular characterization, and assess their vector potential for the transmission of avian haemosporidian parasites. Methods: gene region of genomic DNA isolates from the specimens was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subjected to sequence analyses to reveal their molecular characterization and phylogenetic relationships. Haemosporidian DNA was investigated by nested PCR in the gDNA isolates of head/thorax (HTP) and abdomen pools, constituted from specimens separated by species and location. Molecular characterization of identified parasites was performed using sequence analyses. Results: lineages in the research area. Conclusion: lineages.
