Dengue 2 outbreak in southeastern Senegal during 1990: Virus isolations from mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae)
Journal of Medical Entomology 31 (4), 623-627
Abstract: During 1990, Dengue-2 (DEN-2) virus was isolated for the first time from mosquitoes (Aedes furcifer, six isolates; Ae. taylori, six isolates; Ae. luteocephalus, seven isolates) collected during an epidemic in which DEN-2 virus also was isolated from humans. Numerous isolations have been made previously from mosquitoes in the absence of human infection. In Senegal, DEN-2 virus appears to be maintained in an enzootic cycle and, therefore, plays an expanding role in human disease and increases the need for effective surveillance in mosquito populations.
