Transmission potential of African, Asian and American Zika virus strains by Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus from Guadeloupe (French West Indies)

Abstract: Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus that has dramatically spread in South America and the Caribbean regions since 2015. The majority of vector incrimination studies available for ZIKV showed that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are important vectors for this virus. However, several reports suggest that Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes may be implicated in ZIKV transmission in certain urban settings. In the present study, we evaluated the vector competence for ZIKV of … Show more

“…The results of these experiments indicate that ZIKV could be transmitted during blood feeding. Our analysis showed high infection, dissemination, and transmission rates in both species which is in agreement with previous experiments using ZIKV from the African lineage [36][37][38][39]. Disseminated infection and transmission rates varied significantly according to Ae.…”

“…aegypti (a recognized epidemic vector) showed similar TE rates for CHIKV [126,[147][148][149][150][151][152], DENV-1 [153][154][155][156][157], and DENV-2 [126,147,154,155,[157][158][159], but Ae. aegypti was more efficient at transmitting ZIKV [126,[160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168][169][170][171] and YFV [127,128,[172][173][174][175].…”

“…The role of this species as putative vector of arboviruses such as Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) [12], La Crosse encephalitis virus (LACV) [13], West Nile virus (WNV) [14,15], dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV) [16] and larial parasites [17] has been well described. Since the large outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) in South America [18] in 2015, huge attention has been given to investigate which mosquitoes species could be involved in its transmission [19] and how this can vary between vector populations and virus strains [20][21][22][23].…”
