Detection of Dengue Viral RNA in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Exposed to Sticky Lures Using Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Active surveillance for dengue (DEN) virus infected mosquitoes can be an effective way to predict the risk of dengue infection in a given area. However, doing so may pose logistical problems if mosquitoes must be kept alive or frozen fresh to detect DEN virus. In an attempt to simplify mosquito processing, we evaluated the usefulness of a sticky lure and a seminested reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain...
