Article Synopsis
- Dengue is a major vector-borne disease in Colombia, primarily caused by the dengue virus transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are widespread in the country.
- Two genetic lineages of Aedes aegypti have been identified in Bello, raising questions about their impact on traits like vector competence and survival.
- Experiments showed no significant differences in viral infection or survival rates between the two lineages when challenged with dengue virus serotype 2, suggesting that their genetic differences do not affect their role in disease transmission.
