The Transmission of Dengue by Aedes Polynesiensis Marks

Epidemiologic observations in Polynesia suggested that Aedes polynesiensis Marks served as a natural vector of dengue in that area. This mosquito species was shown to be capable of transmitting dengue from monkey to monkey in the laboratory. A hemagglutination-inhibition test was used to demonstrate the occurrence of the infection in the experimental monkeys.
