Expanded range of Haemagogus leucocelaenus in yellow fever hotspots: new findings from Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil
This study is the first to report Hg. leucocelaenus in Santa Catarina, Brazil, and provides DNA barcoding sequences from southern Brazil. This method offers a reliable alternative for species identification, especially when combined with morphological analysis. Further molecular studies are needed to determine whether the morphological variations observed indicate intraspecific differences.
