Genetic variability and vector competence of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> populations from Kisumu and Busia Counties, Western Kenya, for Chikungunya and Zika viruses

2023-07-14

Abstract excerpt

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of several arboviruses, including dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), yellow fever virus (YFV), and Zika virus (ZIKV). This vector is widespread globally in tropical and subtropical areas, but also found in temperate areas. Kenya experienced its first chikungunya outbreaks in Lamu County in 2004 and later in Mandera: 2016, and Mombasa: 2017. While there is yet to be...
