Aedes aegypti is considered the main vector of arboviruses affecting humans. Nowadays, the only feasible measure to eradicate the dengue fever depends exclusively of vector control. The deep knowledge about the structure and dynamics of Ae. aegypti population in distinct environments is critical, since genetically different populations may present differences related to vector competence and capacity. Brazil has regions with different climatic and geographic characteristics, therefore, detailed knowledge about mosquito population that colonizes different habitats is extremely important. The present study evaluated the population structure of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes in five different Brazilian cities (i.e., Belo Horizonte, Botucatu, Campo Grande, Maringá and Rondonópolis) using a microsatellite markers. Those markers were also used to evaluate the oviposition dynamic and the consequences of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes dispersion, of the city of Botucatu. Population macro-analysis, using DAPC evidenced, genetic clusters among individuals of the same locality, and population structure in mosquitoes of Belo Horizonte. Population microstructure analysis identified six sub-populations of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes among six sub-regions of Belo Horizonte. In addition, the microstructure analysis suggested intermediate population structure in the sub-regions of Campo Grande, and lack of genetic structure among mosquitoes from the sub-regions of Botucatu. Therefore, these results indicate that genetic organization occurs in correlation with city size - where large towns seem to provide genetic structure to the populations of Ae. aegypti. PCA analysis of ovitraps obtained in Botucatu indicated population organization of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes in families. Pedigree analysis and inbreeding coefficient indicated that only for out of 30 mosquitoes analyzed in the same ovitrap, keep restricted familial relationships. These results suggest that Ae. aegypti...
