Mechanical transmission of dengue virus by Aedes aegypti may influence disease transmission dynamics during outbreaks
22 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dengue virus outbreaks are increasing in number and severity worldwide. Viral transmission is assumed to require a minimum time period of viral replication within the mosquito midgut. It is unknown if alternative transmission periods not requiring replication are possible. METHODS: We used a mouse model of dengue virus transmission to investigate the potential of mechanical transmission of dengue...
