Dengue Fever Transmitted by Aedes Albo Pictus, Skuse1

James Stevens Simmons, Joe H. St. John AND Francois H. K. Reynolds2
From the United States Army Medical Department Research Board, Bureau of Science, Manila, P. I.

1. Aedes albopictus, like Aedes aegypti, is a widely distributed mosquito and is common in Manila where dengue is endemic.
2. A. albopictus bred in the laboratory has been proved effective in the experimental transmission of dengue fever from man to man. Seven human volunteers bitten by 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 12 and 22 infected A. albopictus respectively all developed dengue fever.
3. A. albopictus must be considered along with A. aegypti as an important agent in the dissemination of dengue.
4. It seems reasonable to suspect that still other species of Aedes mosquitoes may also play a part in the spread of dengue.


1 A complete report of this investigation will appear later in the Philippine Journal of Science.
