Dengue viruses, globally the most prevalent arboviruses, are transmitted to humans by persistently infected Aedes mosquitoes. The most important vector of Dengue virus is the mosquito Ae.aegypti, which should be the main target of surveillance and control activities. Virologic surveillance for dengue viruses in its vector has been used as an early warning system to predict outbreaks. Detection …
Background: Virological surveillance provides an early warning sign for the risk of transmission in an area. Laboratory tests for dengue virus infection on mosquitoes include isolation of the virus, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Direct Fluorescent-Antibody (DFA) requires a high level of technical skill, expensive equipment, and time-consuming. A meth…
