particularly Aedes aegypti- female mosquito. . This was first recognized by workers in Queensland early in the 20th century. Aedes aegypti breeds in fresh water and particularly in manmade containers such as old tires‚ pot plant holders‚ buckets and tree hollows in urban areas. Aedes albopictus is a mosquito common in South East Asia and Papua New Guinea and can also be an important vector. Other Aedes species are involved in the enzootic monkey cycle The principal vector mosquito‚ Ae aegypti‚ prefers

transmitted by a species of mosquitoes named Aedes aegypti that are vectors‚ organisms that transfer diseases from one organism to another. The disease has created mass hysteria as it was hypothesized for Zika causing birth defects in children when mothers contract the disease from the mosquito while pregnant. The virus’s symptoms include rash‚ fever‚ and joint pain. One proposed solution was the use of genetically modified mosquitoes to decrease the Aedes aegypti by modifying a certain gene in males to

Results from these studies implicate that the Southeast Asian genotypes’ characteristics are continuing to displace its’ sister strain‚ the American genotype. Dengue fever is a blood-borne disease contracted and spread by being bitten by a mosquito infected with the Dengue virus. In the New World the most common family of mosquito infected with the Dengue Fever (DH) is the Aedes aegypti mosquito‚ creating

Use of Anti-Aedes aegypti Salivary Extract Antibody Concentration to Correlate Risk of Vector Exposure and Dengue Transmission Risk in Colombia. Norte de Santander is a region in Colombia with a high incidence of dengue virus (DENV). In this study‚ we examined the serum concentration of anti-Aedes salivary gland extract (SGE) antibodies as a biomarker of DENV infection and transmission‚ and assessed the duration of anti-SGE antibody concentration after exposure to the vector ceased. We also determined

a few hundred years ago dengue virus was transmitted in sylvatic cycles in Africa and Asia between mosquitoes of the genus Aedes and non-human primates with rare emergences into human populations. The global spread of dengue virus‚ however‚ has followed its emergence from sylvatic cycles and the primary life cycle now exclusively involves transmission between humans and Aedes mosquitoes. The reason that some people suffer from more severe forms of dengue‚ such as dengue hemorrhagic fever‚ is multifactorial

(3) It is a vector borne disease that occurs through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. The virus has 5 different types (DENV) 1‚ 2 3‚ 4‚ and 5. Once infected with the virus‚ symptoms include a sudden high fever‚ measle-like rash all over the body‚ headache‚ and muscle and joint pain. In small cases‚ the disease can develop

recognized in the 1950s during dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand. Today‚ severe dengue affects most Asian and Latin American countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalization and death among children in these regions. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the primary vector of dengue. The virus is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female mosquitoes. After virus incubation for 4–10 days‚ an infected mosquito is capable of transmitting the virus for the rest of its life

The disease is caused by the yellow fever virus and is spread by the bite of the female mosquito (Fig. 2) (2). It only infects humans‚ other primates‚ and several species of mosquitoes. In cities‚ it is primarily spread by mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti species. The virus is an RNA virus of the genus Flavivirus (Fig. 3)(3). The disease
