Abstract

Aedes albopictus is an important vector of various arboviruses, including dengue virus (DENV). The vector capacity for DENV has been studied in various geographical regions, but information on Korean Ae. albopictus strains are limited. This study aimed to investigate the vector capacity of the Korean Ae. albopictus strain (Korea Disease Control and prevention Agency, KDCA) for DENV-2. Adult mosquitoes were orally infected with DENV-2 and dissected on days 3 and 7 post-infection. Viral RNA was extracted from midgut and carcass tissues and detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that the KDCA strain could acquire and transmit DENV-2, although with lower efficiency compared with Ae. aegypti. These findings highlight the potential risk of DENV transmission by Ae. albopictus strain (KDCA) and emphasize the need for effective vector control strategies.

期刊介绍： Entomological Research is the successor of the Korean Journal of Entomology. Published by the Entomological Society of Korea (ESK) since 1970, it is the official English language journal of ESK, and publishes original research articles dealing with any aspect of entomology. Papers in any of the following fields will be considered: -systematics- ecology- physiology- biochemistry- pest control- embryology- genetics- cell and molecular biology- medical entomology- apiculture and sericulture. The Journal publishes research papers and invited reviews.
