Vector competence of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti from the islands of the Southwestern Indian Ocean for epidemic Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses
The observed vector competence patterns for the three tested viruses might partly explain their current epidemiology in the SWIO. This approach should involve a larger number of Ae. aegypti lines and should be extended to other ZIKV, DENV, and CHIKV strains, as well as to viruses not currently reported in the region, to better assess the risk of (re-)emergence of mosquito-borne viruses in the SWIO.
