COMPARISON OF NATIVE AND INVASIVE SPECIES OF AEDES ALBOPICTUS USING DATA MINING; DERIVING THEIR GENETIC VARIATION FROM COI SEQUENCE VARIABILITY

In this study, Apriori algorithm was employed to genetic sequence patterns of Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito, Skuse, Dengue fever vector) in native and invasive ranges. It has spread widely across the world from its native region, South-east Asian countries, to every continent except Antarctica. To find the congruity of the species and their origins, I decided to compare them. To analyze the short-term genetic mutations, mtDNA was used to derive the pattern.
