| [surveillance of the circulation of arbovirus of medical interest in the region of eastern senegal]. | a study about the circulation of arboviruses of medical interest in southeastern senegal was conducted from 1988 to 1991, during and around the periods of transmission. specific igm antibodies were detected by elisa test in human sera, as a sign of a recent infection within 2 to 5 months. the comparison of the serological igm results from human surveys in different villages, and the isolations of arboviruses from mosquitoes during the same period of time permitted a rapid and global evaluation o ... | 1993 | 8099299 |
| vector competence of aedes aegypti populations from senegal for sylvatic and epidemic dengue 2 virus isolated in west africa. | vector competence of aedes aegypti populations from six locations in different bioclimatic zones and habitats of senegal was assessed for sylvatic (ard 140875) and epidemic (ara 6894) dengue 2 virus (denv-2) isolates. f1 generation mosquitoes were fed with a blood meal containing 10(6.5) and 1.6 x 10(7) tissue culture infectious dose (tcid50) of the sylvatic denv-2 isolate or 10(6.5) tcid50 of the epidemic isolate and incubated for 14 days. after this period, legs and wings of each individual we ... | 2008 | 18378270 |
| yellow fever virus exhibits slower evolutionary dynamics than dengue virus. | although yellow fever has historically been one of the most important viral infections of humans, relatively little is known about the evolutionary processes that shape its genetic diversity. similarly, there is limited information on the molecular epidemiology of yellow fever virus (yfv) in africa even though it most likely first emerged on this continent. through an analysis of complete e gene sequences, including a newly acquired viral collection from central and west africa (senegal, cameroo ... | 2010 | 19889759 |
| concurrent malaria and arbovirus infections in kedougou, southeastern senegal. | malaria is one of the leading causes of acute febrile illness (afi) in africa. with the advent of malaria rapid diagnostic tests, misdiagnosis and co-morbidity with other diseases has been highlighted by an increasing number of studies. although arboviral infections and malaria are both vector-borne diseases and often have an overlapping geographic distribution in sub-saharan africa, information about their incidence rates and concurrent infections is scarce. | 2016 | 26821709 |
| oral susceptibility of aedes aegypti (diptera: culicidae) from senegal for dengue serotypes 1 and 3 viruses. | to investigate the potential for domestic and wild populations of aedes aegypti from dakar and kedougou to develop a disseminated infection after exposure to denv-3 and denv-1. | 2014 | 25134541 |
