aedes aegypti in ho chi minh city (viet nam): susceptibility to dengue 2 virus and genetic differentiation.	aedes aegypti is the principal vector of dengue viruses, responsible for a viral infection that has become a major public health concern in asia. in viet nam, dengue haemorrhagic fever was first detected in the 1960s and is now a leading cause of death in childhood. we studied the variability in competence of ae. aegypti as a vector for dengue 2 virus and genetic differentiation in this mosquito species. twenty mosquito samples collected in 1998 in ho chi minh city were subjected to oral infecti ...	1999	10717737
temporal genetic variation in aedes aegypti populations in ho chi minh city (vietnam).	aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue viruses in asia, displays variation in population density over time. the larval habitats of this species being unevenly distributed and transient (depending on cycles of drought and flood), the forces generating temporal variation in gene frequencies in populations are studied. we sampled seven mosquito populations from ho chi minh city (vietnam) and its suburbs on five occasions between april 1999 and august 2000. we investigated genetic variation by stu ...	2002	12080364
[aedes aegypti, vector of the dengue virus: spatio-temporal structure of its genetic variation].	aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue viruses. methods for limiting the spread of dengue outbreaks are currently based on vector control. estimates of population genetic organization and gene flow with respect to vector capacity have provided great insights into dengue epidemiology. in vietnam, dengue hemorrhagic fever was detected in the 1950's and becomes today the major problem of public health. among factors influencing dengue epidemiology, ecological disturbances have a direct impact o ...	2002	12669664
