To determine the distribution of Aedes aegypti in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico and evaluate it as a carrier of the dengue virus.
Mosquitoes were collected using CDC minitraps. Nearest neighbor and K-function were used as geospatial tools. The chi-square test was utilized to evaluate the association between the presence of the vector and sociodemographic variables. Evidence of infection was detected by RT-PCR.
A total of 122 female mosquitoes were captured. A tendency in the cluster distribution (R= -1.2995, p= 0.05) of the mosquito was shown up to 4000 m but none of the sociodemographic variables showed significant associations. Seven of the pools tested were positive for DEN-2, ten were positive for DEN- 3, and seven for both serotypes.
This is the first report on the presence of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with dengue in the region, which will enable the promotion of monitoring in order to reduce the probability of occurrence of the disease among the border population.
确定埃及伊蚊在墨西哥华雷斯城的分布情况，并评估其作为登革热病毒载体的情况。
使用疾控中心微型诱捕器收集蚊子。最近邻法和K函数用作地理空间工具。采用卡方检验评估病媒存在与社会人口统计学变量之间的关联。通过逆转录聚合酶链反应检测感染证据。
共捕获122只雌蚊。在4000米范围内显示出蚊子的聚集分布趋势（R = -1.2995，p = 0.05），但社会人口统计学变量均未显示出显著关联。检测的样本中有7份登革2型呈阳性，10份登革3型呈阳性，7份两种血清型均呈阳性。
这是该地区首次关于感染登革热的埃及伊蚊存在的报告，这将有助于推动监测工作，以降低边境人群中疾病发生的概率。
