ABSTRACT

Abstract Researchers are increasingly applying molecular tools to conventional medical and veterinary entomology research areas such as phylogenetics, vector competence and vector–host–pathogen interactions, pesticide resistance, behavior, ecology, physiology, reproduction, and development. Many of these techniques have been adapted for use in applied research, including rapid and simple detection of vector-borne pathogens in both arthropods and their hosts and methods for controlling and mitigating vectors and vector-borne disease. This chapter provides an introduction to the molecular techniques most commonly used in medical and veterinary entomological research at the time of publication, including examples of current applications and a list of references as illustrative studies.
