Non-human primate antibody response to mosquito salivary proteins: Implications for dengue virus transmission in Puerto Rico

文摘

Twenty-two dengue virus infected non-human primates were evaluated for exposure to mosquito bites.

Specific monkey antibody response to Aedes aegypti, Aedes mediovittatus, Aedes taeniorhynchus, and Culex quinquefasciatus salivary gland extract was evaluated.

More non-human primates were positive for exposure to Aedes mediovittatus than any other mosquito species.

Non-human primates and mosquitoes may be able to sustain dengue virus transmission during inter-epidemic periods.

Mammalian antibody response to mosquito salivary glands has potential to incriminate cryptic or secondary vectors of disease causing pathogens.
