[results of a survey of potential dengue vectors in the neo-caledonian archipelago].the author gives the results of an entomological survey in neo-caledonian archipelago (new caledonia and loyalty islands), november-december 1972. concerning the distribution and the abundance of aedes aegypti, the local dengue vector, this study shows the presence of this culicid not only in noumea, but also all along the western developped coast of new caledonia, and in ouvea island. this constitutes a great risk of outbreak extension from noumea if a dengue virus is again imported there.19761036473
[study on the vertical transmission of the dengue virus in the south pacific].in the course of a dengue outbreak, 765 larvae and 20 pupae were collected in noumea and in wallis island around patients premises, to investigate a possible natural infection. on 15 pools made of 335 aedes aegypti larvae and pupae, 3 appeared to be infected. dengue virus type 1 was the only serotype identified. minimum infection rate reached 1: 112. in new caledonia, the local strains of aedes aegypti can insure the survival of dengue 1 virus between outbreaks, due to a vertical infection of th ...19902208461
[on an outbreak caused by dengue type 4 virus, in thio, new caledonia. epidemiological and clinical aspects (author's transl)].after imported cases, a dengue outbreak, caused by type 4 virus, affected 11 per cent of the habitants of thio, new caledonia. distribution of cases by sex, by ethnic and age group, by locality and by week is established on cases confirmed by serology and/or by virus isolation. clinical aspect was classical but liver and digestive tract of patients were frequently affected. five haemorrhagic forms were observed. aedes aegypti was found in each visited house; pooled specimens were found infected ...19827105285
[dengue epidemic in new caledonia (1989). environmental factors and prevention].an extensive dengue epidemic was reported in new caledonia en 1989. environmental factors (temperature and rainfalls) directly controlled the mosquitos population at the end of 1988. the introduction of a new dengue virus, transmitted by aedes aegypti, was responsible for an epidemic that occurred in january-april 1989 and lasted until july 1989. the estimated number of cases was 25,000 and the attack rate was close to 120 per thousand inhabitants for a six month-period. the epidemic involved ma ...19937819798
dengue fever larval control in new caledonia: assessment of a door-to-door health educators program.this article describes the assessment of a door-to-door community education program designed to promote larval control of aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue fever in new caledonia. this program took place in the territory's southern province over a period of nine months beginning in november 2003. the agents, hired for their communications abilities, were given training about dengue fever and in communications and they were then supported and assessed right through to the end of the program. a ...200518181492
zika virus, a new threat for europe?since its emergence in 2007 in micronesia and polynesia, the arthropod-borne flavivirus zika virus (zikv) has spread in the americas and the caribbean, following first detection in brazil in may 2015. the risk of zikv emergence in europe increases as imported cases are repeatedly reported. together with chikungunya virus (chikv) and dengue virus (denv), zikv is transmitted by aedes mosquitoes. any countries where these mosquitoes are present could be potential sites for future zikv outbreak. we ...201627505002
deltamethrin resistance mechanisms in aedes aegypti populations from three french overseas territories worldwide.aedes aegypti is a cosmopolite mosquito, vector of arboviruses. the worldwide studies of its insecticide resistance have demonstrated a strong loss of susceptibility to pyrethroids, the major class of insecticide used for vector control. french overseas territories such as french guiana (south america), guadeloupe islands (lesser antilles) as well as new caledonia (pacific ocean), have encountered such resistance.201526588076
climate-based models for understanding and forecasting dengue epidemics.dengue dynamics are driven by complex interactions between human-hosts, mosquito-vectors and viruses that are influenced by environmental and climatic factors. the objectives of this study were to analyze and model the relationships between climate, aedes aegypti vectors and dengue outbreaks in noumea (new caledonia), and to provide an early warning system.201222348154
chikungunya virus and the mosquito vector aedes aegypti in new caledonia (south pacific region).chikungunya virus (chikv) is transmitted to humans through the bite of aedes mosquitoes. during the 2005-2006 epidemic that occurred in the indian ocean islands, a viral strain harboring a substitution of an alanine to valine at position 226 (e1-a226v) of the e1 glycoprotein enhanced the transmissibility of chikv by aedes albopictus. in march 2011, autochthonous transmission of chikv was reported in new caledonia (nc), an island located in the southwest pacific ocean. this was the first report o ...201223167500
dengue-1 virus and vector competence of aedes aegypti (diptera: culicidae) populations from new caledonia.dengue virus (denv) is the arbovirus with the highest incidence in new caledonia and in the south pacific region. in 2012-2014, a major denv-1 outbreak occurred in new caledonia. the only known vector of denv in new caledonia is aedes aegypti but no study has yet evaluated the competence of new caledonia ae. aegypti populations to transmit denv. this study compared the ability of field-collected ae. aegypti from different locations in new caledonia to transmit the denv-1 responsible for the 2012 ...201728793920
