Results of the multiplex PCR of representative DNA samples of the four relevant Aedes species. The 31 DNA samples (lanes 1–8: Ae. albopictus eggs; lanes 9–16: Ae. japonicus eggs; Lanes 17–24: Ae. koreicus larvae; lanes 25–31: Ae. geniculatus eggs) were previously identified morphologically and with DNA barcoding and subsequently analysed using the multiplex PCR protocol. All samples show specific PCR products of the correct sizes according to the expected species: 438 bp for Ae. albopictus, 361 bp for Ae. koreicus, 310 bp for Ae. geniculatus and 160 bp for Ae. japonicus. The sample in lane 3 (expected to be Ae. albopictus) shows an additional PCR product at 160 bp, indicating the presence of Ae. japonicus
