| Abstract | Abstract: Zika virus (ZIKV) was recently introduced into the Western Hemisphere, where it is
suspected to be transmitted mainly by Aedes aegypti in urban environments. ZIKV represents a public
health problem as it has been implicated in congenital microcephaly in South America since 2015.
Reports of ZIKV transmission in forested areas of Africa raises the possibility of its dispersal to
non-human-modified environments in South America, where it is now endemic. The current study
aimed to detect arboviruses in mosquitoes collected from areas with low human interference in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Using a sensitive pan-flavivirus RT-PCR, designed to detect the NS5 region,
pools of Ae. albopictus and Haemagogus leucocelaenus, were positive for both ZIKV and yellow fever
(YFV). Virus RNA was detected in pools of adult males and females reared from field-collected
eggs. Findings presented here suggest natural vertical transmission and infection of ZIKV in Hg.
