| aedes furcifer and other mosquitoes as vectors of chikungunya virus at mica, northeastern transvaal, south africa. | from 1977 to 1981, studies were conducted on a farm at mica where aedes furcifer had been a vector during an epidemic of chikungunya virus in 1976 to determine whether the virus persisted in this mosquito, the likelihood of vertical transmission, and whether any other aedes species could have been vectors. aedes furcifer/cordellieri was the only prevalent tree hole aedes which fed readily on monkeys and humans and occurred through the summer until the onset of winter. virus was not isolated from ... | 1990 | 1977875 |
| landscape ecology of sylvatic chikungunya virus and mosquito vectors in southeastern senegal. | the risk of human infection with sylvatic chikungunya (chikv) virus was assessed in a focus of sylvatic arbovirus circulation in senegal by investigating distribution and abundance of anthropophilic aedes mosquitoes, as well as the abundance and distribution of chikv in these mosquitoes. a 1650 km(2) area was classified into five land cover classes: forest, barren, savanna, agriculture and village. a total of 39,799 mosquitoes was sampled from all classes using human landing collections between ... | 2012 | 22720097 |
