Dengue virus 3 genotype I in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and eggs, Brazil, 2005-2006

Dengue virus 3 genotype I in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and eggs, Brazil, 2005-2006

Dengue virus type 3 genotype I was detected in Brazil during epidemics in 2002-2004. To confirm this finding, we identified this virus genotype in naturally infected field-caught Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and eggs. Results showed usefulness of virus investigations in vectors as a component of active...

Description
Summary:Dengue virus type 3 genotype I was detected in Brazil during epidemics in 2002-2004. To confirm this finding, we identified this virus genotype in naturally infected field-caught Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and eggs. Results showed usefulness of virus investigations in vectors as a component of active epidemiologic surveillance.
