Article Synopsis
- * In 2014, CHIKV was introduced to Brazil through two different genotypes: the Asian/Caribbean and the African ECSA, causing outbreaks among unexposed populations.
- * Recent genomic sequencing from a Northeast Brazil outbreak showed that both genotypes are now circulating together, indicating coinfection may be common in these areas, requiring better understanding of CHIKV's spread.

Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) has been isolated from many mosquito species in nature, but it is believed that the main vectors in urban environments are species of the genus Aedes. Here, we detected and isolated ZIKV in samples from Aedes aegypti, Aedes taeniorhynchus and Culex quinquefasciatus, collected during the Zika epidemic in Vitória, southeast Brazil. Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, ZIKV detection was performed in mosquito samples collected from February to April 2016.
