Mosquito vectors of arboviruses in French Polynesia
The circulation of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) throughout the Pacific is no exception in French Polynesia (FP). We review here the mosquito vectors involved or potentially involved in the transmission of arboviruses in FP. We highlight Aedes aegypti and Aedes polynesiensis; species that ar...

| description | The circulation of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) throughout the Pacific is no exception in French Polynesia (FP). We review here the mosquito vectors involved or potentially involved in the transmission of arboviruses in FP. We highlight Aedes aegypti and Aedes polynesiensis; species that are widely distributed in FP and whose ability to transmit dengue, zika and chikungunya viruses is well known. In addition, we discuss the contribution of those species and the abundant Culex annulirostris to the silent circulation of Ross River virus in FP. As these mosquito species and others present in FP are known to be vectors of a large panel of arboviruses, there is a high risk for new emergences. Keywords: Aedes aegypti, Aedes polynesiensis, arboviruses, chikungunya virus, Culex annulirostris, dengue virus, French Polynesia, mosquito vectors, Ross River virus, Zika virus |
