VERTICAL TRANSMISSION OF DENGUE VIRUS IN Aedes aegypti COLLECTED IN PUERTO IGUAZÚ, MISIONES, ARGENTINA

Abstract: A finding of vertical transmission of the DEN 3 virus in male specimens of Aedes aegypti, collected in the 2009 fall-winter period, in Puerto Iguazú city, Misiones, Argentina, using the RT-PCR technique in a 15-specimen pool is reported. This result is analyzed within the context of the epidemiological situation of Argentina's northeast border.

“…And it is ready to transmit the Dengue virus to humans. Transovarial transmission of Dengue virus plays a role in the sustainability of the transmission of Dengue both at the time of epidemic as well as between epidemic because the mosquitoes that have been infected with Dengue virus can transmit the virus throughout their life, although they never suck infected human blood (Ditjen PP & PL, 2013;Espinosa, 2014) ,…”

“…The infected mosquito will contain virus for its whole life and it can transmit virus through ovarium (Lee and Rohani, 2005;Espinosa et al, 2014). This transovarian transmission will make the pre-adult stadium contain virus as well, so that it can increase the number of mosquitos that contain virus in mosquito population which eventually will preserve even trigger the epidemy (Hartanti et al, 2010).…”

“…Three studies reported on vertical transmission of dengue virus [156,158,178], and one [179] reported on the vertical transmission of Zika virus. Buckner et al [178] found a vertical transmission rate of DENV-1 of 11.11% in Ae.…”

“…Da Costa et al [156] observed dengue infection rates among third and fourth instar Ae. aegypti between 1.14% and 2.41% among Brazilian municipalities, and Espinosa et al [158] observed one DENV-3 positive male Ae. aegypti pool, collected in Argentina.…”
