  abstract = {{A}edes aegypti, the major vector of dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and {Z}ika viruses, remains of great medical and public health concern. {T}here is little doubt that the ancestral home of the species is {A}frica. {T}his mosquito invaded the {N}ew {W}orld 400-500years ago and later, {A}sia. {H}owever, little is known about the genetic structure and history of {A}e.aegypti across {A}frica, as well as the possible origin(s) of the {N}ew {W}orld invasion. {H}ere, we use similar to 17,000 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms ({SNP}s) to characterize a heretofore undocumented complex picture of this mosquito across its ancestral range in {A}frica. {W}e find signatures of human-assisted migrations, connectivity across long distances in sylvan populations, and of local admixture between domestic and sylvan populations. {F}inally, through a phylogenetic analysis combined with the genetic structure analyses, we suggest {W}est {A}frica and especially {A}ngola as the source of the {N}ew {W}orld's invasion, a scenario that fits well with the historic record of 16th-century slave trade between {A}frica and {A}mericas.},
