| Type | Article | |
| Abstract | The aim of this study was to determine the presence of West Nile Virus (WNV) in mosquitoes in
northeastern Venezuela. Research was conducted in the Laguna de los Patos, Cumana, Sucre State to
demonstrate the presence of WNV RNA in mosquitoes caught in traps of Light (CDC + CO2) by RT-PCR,
during the period July 2007 to February 2008. We found a positive mosquito pool for the species
Coquillettidia (Rhynchotaenia) venezuelensis (Theobald, 1912). The minimum rate of infection of the
caught was 0.16/ 1,000 individuals. Continued entomological surveillance is needed for establishing
with conclusive criteria etiological responsibility of this and other species in these arboviruses. | pt_BR |
