摘要: BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Dengue viruses are spread and maintained in an Aedes aegypti-human- Ae. aegypti cycle urban areas of the tropics. also nature by vertical transmission aegypti. A study was undertaken Chennai, a known endemic city south India, to comprehend natural dynamics assess its epidemiological importance. METHODS males collected resting landing collections were tested for dengue virus infection antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) further examined insect bioassay, Toxorhynchites splendens inoculation-indirect immunofluorescence technique (Toxo-IFA) using serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies (Mabs), if found positive ELISA. RESULTS Of 509 pools (n=5408) screened, 15 pools, April, June- July, November-December 2003 March, May 2004, minimum rate (MIR) among adult high June (28.0/ 1000). Three could be serotyped as dengue-2 (2 pools) dengue-3 (1 pool). INTERPRETATION CONCLUSION isolations from wild caught indicate occurrence transovarial transmission. Vertical mainly observed summer months when infections humans low suggesting that adopt novel strategy surviving adverse climatic conditions.
