Resumen:
Objective. To understand, from an exploratory study, the diversity of Wolbachia strains present in species of the genus Aedes distributed in southern Mexico. Materials and methods. DNA was extracted from mosquitoes collected at 12 places and analyzed for the presence of Wolbachia by PCR using primers for wsp, 16S rRNA,ftsZ and groE genes.To determine the supergroup Wolbachia belongs, a phylogenetic analysis was performed with the wsp gene. A total of 639 mosquitoes of the genus Aedes were collected, 70.3% corresponded to Aedes albopictus, 11% for Aedes quadrivittatus. Results. The prevalence of Wolbachia in Ae. albopictus was 84% of all sampling sites, while for Ae. quadrivittatus corresponded to 79%. For Ae. albopictus,the coinfection between supergroupsA and B,was confirmed while in Ae. quadrivittatus only supergroup B was detected. Conclusion. This study documents for the first time the presences of Wolbachia in species of the genus Aedes albopictus and Aedes quadrivittatus, in Chiapas Mexico.
