Dengue and chikungunya viruses are transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. In Martinique, an island of the French West Indies, Aedes aegypti is the suspected vector of both arboviruses; there is no Aedes albopictus on the island. During the concomitant outbreak of 2013 - 2015, the authors collected wild A. aegypti populations, and for the first time, detected dengue and chikungunya viruses in field-collected females. This paper demonstrates the mosquito's role in transmission of both dengue and chikungunya on the island, and also highlights a tool that public health authorities can use for preventing outbreaks.
登革热病毒和基孔肯雅病毒通过伊蚊传播。在法属西印度群岛的马提尼克岛，埃及伊蚊被怀疑是这两种虫媒病毒的传播媒介；该岛上没有白纹伊蚊。在2013年至2015年的同时爆发期间，作者收集了野生埃及伊蚊种群，并且首次在野外采集的雌蚊中检测到了登革热病毒和基孔肯雅病毒。本文证明了该蚊子在岛上登革热和基孔肯雅热传播中的作用，同时还突出了一种公共卫生当局可用于预防疫情爆发的工具。
