  • Title: Oral susceptibility to yellow fever virus of Aedes aegypti from Brazil.
    Author: Lourenço-de-Oliveira R, Vazeille M, Bispo de Filippis AM, Failloux AB.
    Journal: Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz; 2002 Apr; 97(3):437-9. PubMed ID: 12048581.
    Abstract:
    The oral susceptibility to yellow fever virus was evaluated in 23 Aedes aegypti samples from Brazil. Six Ae. aegypti samples from Africa, America and Asia were also tested for comparison. Mosquito samples from Asia showed the highest infection rates. Infection rates for the Brazilian Ae. aegypti reached 48.6%, but were under 13% in 60% of sample tested. We concluded that although the low infection rates estimated for some Brazilian mosquito samples may not favor the establishment of urban cycle of yellow fever in some parts of the country, the founding of Ae. aegypti of noteworthy susceptibility to the virus in cities located in endemic and transition areas of sylvatic yellow fever, do pose a threat of the re-emergence of the urban transmission of the disease in Brazil.
