Incrimination of Aedes (Stegomyia) hensilli Farner as an Epidemic Vector of Chikungunya Virus on Yap Island, Federated States of Micronesia, 2013

Abstract: Two species of Aedes (Stegomyia) were collected in response to the first chikungunya virus (CHIKV) outbreak on Yap Island: the native species Ae. hensilli Farner and the introduced species Ae. aegypti (L.). Fourteen CHIKV-positive mosquito pools were detected. Six pools were composed of female Ae. hensilli, six pools were composed of female Ae. aegypti, one pool was composed of male Ae. hensilli, and one pool contained female specimens identified as Ae. (Stg.) spp. Infection rates were not significantly differ… Show more

“…Eleven autochthonous cases were detected in 2014 in Florida, although there was no evidence of persistence. Surprisingly, this first CHIKV strain identified in the Americas was not the IOL lineage implicated in most recent outbreaks, but belonged to the Asian lineage that had been circulating in the urban cycle at least since the 1950s and which has continued to cause outbreaks in Asia and Oceania in recent years [12,13]; importation probably occurred via a viremic traveler from Southeast Asia or Oceania, or possibly an infected mosquito transported on a flight (Figure 1) [14••]. …”

“…The initial incrimination of A. aegypti in transmission in the region of the Americas inhabited by both urban vectors (Mexico) [61] supports this prediction. Opportunities for the use of additional urban vectors are difficult to predict in the absence of experimental data, but recent evidence that Aedes ( Stegomyia ) hensilli was the principal epidemic CHIKV vector on Yap Island suggests that other mosquitoes may play major roles in some regions [12]. …”

“…An investigation in the Union of Comoros in 2005 found a single CHIKVinfected pool of Ae. aegypti with an infection rate of 4.0 per 1,000, and on Yap Island of the Federated States of Micronesia the reported infection rate was 70 per 1,000 (Sang et al 2008, Savage et al 2015. In Mexico, ZIKV infection rates in Ae.…”

“…The oil resin of C. langsdorffii is extracted from the trunk, being widely used in popular medicine (Veiga & Pinto 2002). Copaifera langsdorffii essential oil has been shown to be active against late third and early fourth instars of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae), the vector of the dengue, chikunguya, and zika viruses (Prophiro et al 2012;Diagne et al 2015;Savage et al 2015). Essential oils and extracts of different parts of the plants have shown insecticidal properties and the potential to affect several fitness traits of number of chewing and sucking insects (Barbosa et al 2011, Alves et al 2012, França et al 2012.…”
