Report of Chikungunya Virus in Wild Populations of Aedes aegypti in Guerrero State, Mexico

We detected vertical transmission of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in wild populations of from San Marcos, Guerrero, Mexico, with real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. A total of 20 pools (1-11 specimens/pool) of larvae, male, and female mosquitoes were tested. We report the detecti...

Description
Summary:We detected vertical transmission of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in wild populations of from San Marcos, Guerrero, Mexico, with real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. A total of 20 pools (1-11 specimens/pool) of larvae, male, and female mosquitoes were tested. We report the detection of CHIKV in 2 of 11 larval pools, 4 of 5 male pools, and 1 of 4 female pools, from field-collected mosquitoes.
