PCR and dissection as tools to monitor filarial infection of Aedes polynesiensismosquitoes in French Polynesia

24 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Entomological methods may provide important tools for monitoring the transmission of filariasis in French Polynesia. In order to standardize our PCR method and refine our protocol to assess filarial infection levels in mosquitoes, we compared dissection of the vector, Aedes polynesiensis, with the poolscreening polymerase chain reaction (PS-PCR) assay. METHODS: (1) Mosquitoes were collected in human...
