Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of several medically important arboviruses, including dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV), both of which remain endemic in Thailand. However, studies on arbovirus surveillance and mitochondrial genetic diversity of Ae. aegypti populations across broad geographic scales remain limited. This study aimed to assess the detection of DENV and CHIKV...
