• Abstract: Background:Aedes aegyptiis the main vector of the dengue, Zika and several other arboviruses. It is highly adaptedto urbanized environments and can be found worldwide. Mosquito population control is considered the best strategyfor fighting mosquito-borne diseases, making an understanding of their population dynamics vital for the developmentof more effective vector control programs. This study therefore sought to investigate how different levels ofurbanization affectAedes aegyptipopulations and modulatepopulation structure in this species with the aid ofwing geometric morphometrics.Methods:Specimens were collected from eleven locations in three areas with distinct levels of urbanization inthe city of São Paulo, Brazil: conserved, intermediate and urbanized. The right wings of female mosquitoescollected were removed, and photographed and digitized. Canonical variate analysis and Mahalanobis distancewere used to investigate the degree of wing-shape dissimilarity among populations. Thin-plate splines werecalculated by regression analysis of Canonical Variation Analysis scores against wing-shape variation, and a cross-validated reclassification was performed for each individual; a neighbor-joining tree was then constructed.Results:Metapopulation and individual population analysis showed a clear segregation pattern in the CanonicalVariation Analysis. Pairwise cross-validated reclassification yielded relatively high scores considering the microgeographicalscale of the study and the fact that the study populations belong to the same species. The neighbor-joining tree showedthat mosquitoes in the intermediate urban area segregated in the metapopulation and individual population analyses.Our findings show significant population structuring inAedes aegyptimosquitoes in the areas studied. This is related tothe different degrees of urbanization in the areas where the specimens were collected along with their geographicallocation.
