| mosquito vectors of arboviruses in french polynesia. | the circulation of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) throughout the pacific is no exception in french polynesia (fp). we review here the mosquito vectors involved or potentially involved in the transmission of arboviruses in fp. we highlight aedes aegypti and aedes polynesiensis; species that are widely distributed in fp and whose ability to transmit dengue, zika and chikungunya viruses is well known. in addition, we discuss the contribution of those species and the abundant culex annulirost ... | 2019 | 31316821 |
| vector competence of aedes aegypti and aedes polynesiensis populations from french polynesia for chikungunya virus. | from october 2014 to march 2015, french polynesia experienced for the first time a chikungunya outbreak. two aedes mosquitoes may have contributed to chikungunya virus (chikv) transmission in french polynesia: the worldwide distributed ae. aegypti and the polynesian islands-endemic ae. polynesiensis mosquito. | 2016 | 27144888 |
| assessing entomological risk factors for arboviral disease transmission in the french territory of the wallis and futuna islands. | the french overseas territory of the wallis and futuna islands has been affected by several dengue epidemics. aedes polynesiensis is the main mosquito vector described in this territory. other aedes species have been reported, but recent entomological data are missing to infer the presence of other potential arbovirus vectors and to assess the entomological risk factors for transmission of arboviral diseases. | 2020 | 32401756 |
