ABSTRACT

Objective. To gain a better understanding of the Zika virus (ZIKV) vector transmission in Mexico, we determined the vector competence of a local population of Ae. aegypti (Aca- pulco, Guerrero) for a strain of ZIKV isolated from a Mexican febrile patient. Materials and methods. Eggs were hatched and larvae were reared under controlled conditions. After five days post-emergence, female mosquitoes were fed an infectious blood-meal containing ZIKV. Mosquitoes were analyzed at 4, 7 and 14-day post-infection (dpi). Infection (gut), dissemination (wings, legs and heads) and potential transmission (salivary glands) were assessed by RT-qPCR. The Rockefeller Ae. aegypti strain was used as ZIKV infection control. Results. ZIKV infection, dissemination, and potential transmission rates were 96.2, 96.1 and 93.2%, respectively. Conclusions. Ae. aegypti (F1) from Acapulco were very susceptible to ZIKV infection, and showed similar vector competence to that of the susceptible Rockefeller strain. To our knowledge, this is the first report of vector competence for ZIKV performed in a Mexican laboratory.
