Origin of the Dengue Fever Mosquito, Aedes aegypti, in California
Dengue fever is among the most widespread vector-borne infectious diseases. The primary vector of dengue is the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Ae. aegypti is prevalent in the tropics and sub-tropics and is closely associated with human habitats outside its native range of Africa. While long established in the southeastern United States of America where dengue is re-emerging, breeding populations have ...
متن کاملCharacterization of dengue virus in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus spp. of mosquitoes: A study in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever. The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus.

متن کاملBioefficacy of Mentha piperita essential oil against dengue fever mosquito Aedes aegypti L.
OBJECTIVE To assess the larvicidal and repellent potential of the essential oil extracted from the leaves of peppermint plant, Mentha piperita (M. piperita) against the larval and adult stages of Aedes aegypti (Ae. Aegypti). METHODS The larvicidal potential of peppermint oil was evaluated against early fourth instar larvae of Ae. aegypti using WHO protocol. The mortality counts were made afte...
متن کاملProtein profiles of dengue-infected Aedes aegypti (L)
The protein profiles of DENV-2 and DENV-4 viruses-infected adult Aedes aegypti were analysed using Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE samples. For this study, adult female mosquitoes were infected orally with either DENV-2 or DENV-4 virus using spiked human blood samples. The infections in the individual mosquitoes were confirmed using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). From ...
متن کاملEffect of temperature stress on immature stages and susceptibility of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to chikungunya virus.
A high temperature stress of 44.5 degrees C for 10 minutes on the larval stages was found to affect the susceptibility of adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to chikungunya virus. At this temperature, the mortality of the mosquito larvae was found to be approximately 95%, whereas a temperature greater than 45 degrees C for 10 minutes was found to be lethal. A temperature tolerant (TT) strain was dev...
