03ED878BD736FF8D25ABEF5FFAF1FD63.taxon	description	PCR methods were employed to detect Wolbachia infection in each population using genomic DNA extracted from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus. Te detection of Wolbachia infection was performed in two steps. Initially, PCR was used to amplify the Wolbachia surface protein gene (wsp). For specimens that did not yield amplification of the wsp gene, additional PCR targeting the 16 S rDNA region of Wolbachia was conducted. Samples that failed to amplify for 16 S rDNA were considered to be negative for Wolbachia infection. Te PCR protocol followed for amplification of the wsp gene was that reported by Zhou et al. [23], using the primer pairs wsp _ 81 F (5 ′ - TGG TCC AAT AAG TGA TGA TGA AGA AAC- 3 ′) and wsp _ 691 R (5 ′ - AAA AAT TAA ACG CTA CTC CA- 3 ′). Te PCR reaction mixture (total volume 25.0 μl) consisted of 1 × PCR buffer, 0.2 mM dNTPs, 0.4 μM of each primer, 0.5 units of Taq HotStart DNA polymerase (TaKaRa) and 2 μl of extracted genomic DNA. Te PCR cycling conditions consisted of an initial denaturation at 94 ° C for 5 min, followed by 40 cycles at 94 ° C for 30 s, 53 ° C for 30 s and 72 ° C for 1 min, with a final extension at 72 ° C for 5 min. PCR amplification of the 16 S rDNA of Wolbachia was performed using primers reported by Werren and Windsor [37] (WF: 5 ′ - CAT ACC TAT TCG AAG GGA TAG- 3 ′; WR: 5 ′ - AGC TTC GAG TGA AAC CAA TTC- 3 ′). Te reaction mixture for PCR amplification (total volume 25.0 μl) consisted of 1 × PCR buffer, 0.2 mM dNTPs, 0.4 μM of each primer, 0.5 units of Taq HotStart DNA polymerase (TaKaRa) and 2 μl of extracted genomic DNA. Te PCR cycling conditions consisted of an initial denaturation at 94 ° C for 5 min, followed by 40 cycles at 94 ° C for 30 s, 60 ° C for 30 s and 72 ° C for 1 min, with a final extension at 72 ° C for 5 min. Amplification of the wsp gene and 16 S rDNA was confirmed by electrophoresis in 1.5 % agarose gels. Samples that were successfully amplified were subjected to Sanger dideoxy sequencing (Macrogen). Te sequences of all wsp genes detected in Cx. tritaeniorhynchus obtained in this study have been deposited in NCBI GenBank (GenBank accession numbers: wsp: PQ 014158 – PQ 014189; 16 S: PQ 625809 – PQ 625837; PQ 579157 – PQ 579160).	en	Jeon, Jiseung, Kim, Heung Chul, Donnelly, Martin J., Choi, Kwang Shik (2024): Genetic diversity and WolbaChia infection in the Japanese encephalitis virus vector CUlex tritaeniorhynChUS in the Republic of Korea.

03ED878BD733FF8925ABEFC2FE8EFAE8.taxon	description	Wolbachia DNA. Te results from 12 regions of the ROK indicated that Wolbachia was detected in 32 (10.2 %) of the 313 individuals of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus analyzed (Table 3). All 32 Wolbachia - positive individuals were from Ct-J, with none detected in the eight individuals from Ct-C. Wolbachia was identified in populations from five of the 12 regions. Phylogenetic analysis using ML based on the wsp sequence of Wolbachia from the infected mosquitoes confirmed the presence of supergroup A and supergroup B (Fig. 5). Among the 32 mosquitoes that tested positive for Wolbachia, two were infected with supergroup A and 30 were infected with Supergroup B. Supergroup A was found in Gimhae and Chungju, while supergroup B was identified in Gimhae, Chungju, Daegu (both in 2022 and 2023), Haenam and Wanju. Both supergroup A and supergroup B were present in Gimhae and Chungju. However, none of the 32 mosquitoes were found to be co-infected with both supergroup A and subgroup B.	en	Jeon, Jiseung, Kim, Heung Chul, Donnelly, Martin J., Choi, Kwang Shik (2024): Genetic diversity and WolbaChia infection in the Japanese encephalitis virus vector CUlex tritaeniorhynChUS in the Republic of Korea.
