- - Dengue fever is a significant public health issue in Nepal, primarily transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, and this study aimed to assess dengue seropositivity and the bacterial diversity in these mosquitoes from affected regions.
- - Conducted between June and November 2013, the study analyzed 221 serum samples for anti-dengue IgM and collected mosquito larvae to identify the bacterial communities present in A. aegypti.
- - Results showed a 15.38% seropositivity rate for dengue and highlighted that gram-negative bacteria were the most commonly isolated, with Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Acinetobacter spp. being the predominant strains found in the mosquito's gut.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 264 suspected dengue patients in two districts (Dang and Chitwan) of Nepal from June 2013 to November 2013. The anti-dengue IgM positivity was found to be (51/264)19.31% by capture ELISA, of which 21 (41.
