Each newly designed primer was able to amplify a species-specific fragment with a different size. Conditions for multiplex PCR were optimized to identify all five species in a single PCR. This method is a convenient tool for entomological field surveys, particularly in arbovirus endemic/epidemic areas where some of these species coexist., Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases, 63(5), pp.312-316; 2010}, pages = {312--316}, title = {A multiplex PCR-based molecular identification of five morphologically related, medically important subgenus stegomyia mosquitoes from the genus Aedes (Diptera: Culicidae) found in the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan}, volume = {63}, year = {2010} }
