Aedes albopictus, a mosquito vector of Dengue virus, has been recorded for the first time in Cameroon. Entomologic surveys in 2000 demonstrated that it is widespread in southern Cameroon, colonizing a wide variety of breeding sites and biting humans in every district surveyed. The presence of this vector increases the risk for emergence of dengue in Cameroon.
白纹伊蚊是登革热病毒的一种蚊媒,首次在喀麦隆被记录。2000年的昆虫学调查表明,它在喀麦隆南部广泛分布,占据了各种各样的繁殖地,并在每个被调查地区叮咬人类。这种病媒的存在增加了喀麦隆登革热出现的风险。
