Aedes aegypti (L.,1762) and Ae. albopictus (Skuse, 1894) (Diptera : Culicidae) in dengue transmission in Nha Trang (Southern Vietnam) preliminary results
Annales de la Société Entomologique de France 37 (4), 473-479
Abstract: Four Aedes aegypti samples and two Ae. albopictus samples collected in Nha Trang in Southern Vietnam were infected with a dengue 2 virus and were analyzed for genetic differentiation based on isoenzyme polymorphism. Infection rates were higher in Ae. aegypti (91.7% to 96.8%) than in Ae. albopictus (33.3% to 66.3%). The analysis of isoenzyme variation showed that differentiation was high (F_ST = +0.146) and significant (P < 10^-4) between Ae. aegypti populations. These results are discussed in view of other results obtained from Ae. aegypti populations collected in other parts in the world.
