Distinct variation in vector competence among nine field populations of Aedes aegypti from a Brazilian dengue-endemic risk city

Distinct variation in vector competence among nine field populations of Aedes aegypti from a Brazilian dengue-endemic risk city

Abstract Background In Brazil, dengue epidemics erupt sporadically throughout the country and it is unclear if outbreaks may initiate a sustainable transmission cycle. There are few studies evaluating the ability of Brazilian Aedes aegypti populations to transmit dengue virus (DENV). The aim of this...
