We conducted a study in a dengue-endemic area of Colombia to evaluate the dynamics of transmission of dengue viruses during and after epidemics. Information was simultaneously gathered about occurrence of infection in humans and mosquitoes every three months in four cities with endemic transmission. Viral isolation was confirmed in 6.7% of the persons and most were asymptomatic. Adult mosquito and larvae house indexes were not found associated with increased burden of disease. The only entomologic indicator related to dengue infection in humans was the pooled infection rate of mosquitoes. Aedes aegypti infection rates showed significant differences between the epidemic (10.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.04-15.62) and after epidemic periods of the study (6.15, 95% CI = 3.46-10.19). In addition, Ae. albopictus were also infected with dengue viruses. Increases in mosquito infection rates were associated with increases in human infection rates in the following trimester.
我们在哥伦比亚登革热流行地区开展了一项研究,以评估登革热病毒在流行期间及之后的传播动态。在四个存在地方性传播的城市,每三个月同时收集关于人类和蚊子感染情况的信息。在6.7%的人身上证实了病毒分离,且大多数人无症状。未发现成蚊和幼虫屋指数与疾病负担增加有关。与人类登革热感染相关的唯一昆虫学指标是蚊子的混合感染率。埃及伊蚊感染率在研究的流行期(10.68,95%置信区间[CI]=7.04 - 15.62)和流行后期(6.15,95%CI = 3.46 - 10.19)之间存在显著差异。此外,白纹伊蚊也感染了登革热病毒。蚊子感染率的增加与下一个三个月期人类感染率的增加相关。
