Silent circulation of dengue virus in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) resulting from natural vertical transmission

Abstract: Vertical transmission in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus is considered a maintenance mechanism for dengue virus (DENV) during unfavorable conditions and may be implicated in dengue outbreaks. Since DENV infection dynamics vary among wild-type viruses and vector populations, vertical transmission rates can also vary between regions. However, even though São Paulo is the most populous city in the Americas and has experienced major dengue epidemics, natural vertical transmission had never been detected in this… Show more

“…Notably, 11 out of 14 publications refer to transovarial transmission of dengue virus. This has several aspects; the dengue virus can remain and persist silently during inter-epidemic periods [21,33]. The dispersal of eggs and larvae of Ae.…”

“…albopictus naturally infected with the dengue and Zika viruses come from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Costa Rica, which are dengueendemic countries and between 2014 and 2018 there was active transmission of the Zika virus [10,11,14,47,[52][53][54][55][57][58][59][60][61][63][64][65][66][67][68]. Notably, in nine out of ten studies carried out in Brazil, dengue (all serotypes), Zika and yellow fever viruses were transmitted by transovarial route [47,[57][58][59][63][64][65][66]68]. Future studies should focus on finding out if there is an evolutionary relationship of arbovirus adaptation with vertical transmission of Ae.…”
