Discussion

Complete mitochondrial genomes of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus show genetic diversity, indicating unique evolutionary histories.

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus exhibit distinct mitochondrial genomic features and evolutionary patterns.
The complete mitogenomes measure 16,662 bp and 16,585 bp, with significant AT content of 79% and 78%.
Intraspecific analysis showed higher genetic distance in Aedes aegypti, suggesting a longer evolutionary history than Aedes albopictus.
Comparative phylogenetics revealed Aedes spp. from Bangladesh share close relationships with global populations, aiding vector control efforts.

Islam et al. (2025) studied this question.
