A Survey for Aedes aegypti in Delaware and the Virus-Positive Pool Rates of Aedes albopictus and Aedes triseriatus for West Nile and Zika Viruses
2019
Overview
The introduction of Zika virus to the USA in 2015 engendered heightened interest in its known vectors. Aedes aegypti is the primary vector, with Ae. albopictus considered a potential secondary vector, together with several other possible marginal vectors. In Delaware, Ae. aegypti has been collected rarely, but no breeding populations were detected during past intensive statewide surveillance efforts. However, there is an abundance of Ae. albopictus statewide. Both species are container breeders and are peri-domestic—increasing the risk for virus transmission to humans. From July through September 2017, Delaware Mosquito Control conducted surveillance in 16 container-breeding hot spots to search for Ae. aegypti , and also ascertain the virus-positive pool rates of Ae. albopictus and Ae. triseriatus for West Nile virus (WNV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). The survey concluded that there were no known breeding populations of Ae. aegypti in Delaware, and no WNV- or ZIKV-positive pools were detected among pools of mosquitoes of the aforementioned species.
