Study of Sequence Variation of Dengue Type 3 Virus in Naturally Infected Mosquitoes and Human Hosts: Implications for Transmission and Evolution
26 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus is an arbovirus that replicates alternately in the mosquito vector and human host. We investigated sequences of dengue type 3 virus in naturally infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and in eight patients from the same outbreak and reported that the extent of sequence variation seen with the mosquitoes was generally lower than that seen with the patients (mean diversity, 0.21 versus 0.38% and 0.09 versus...
