Arbovirus surveillance in field-collected mosquitoes is essential in monitoring virus activity to avoid emergence and outbreaks of arboviruses.
We used reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction methods to search for arbovirus in mosquitoes collected in Brazil's southeast Amazon forest remnants during 2015-2016.
We detected Iheus virus (ILHV) RNA in Culex declarator, Culex (Melanoconion) and Ochlerotatus serratus mosquitoes.
These results indicate ILHV circulation in the studied area, highlighting its potential emergence in human population. More studies are necessary to confirm the roles of these three species in ILHV maintenance.
在野外采集的蚊子中进行虫媒病毒监测对于监测病毒活动以避免虫媒病毒的出现和爆发至关重要。
我们使用逆转录聚合酶链反应方法，在 2015 年至 2016 年期间，对巴西东南部亚马逊森林残余地区采集的蚊子中进行虫媒病毒搜索。
我们在库蚊属（Culex）宣告蚊、库蚊（Melanoconion）属和尖音库蚊（Ochlerotatus）属的蚊子中检测到伊蚊病毒（ILHV）RNA。
这些结果表明，ILHV 在研究区域内传播，突出了其在人群中出现的潜力。需要进一步研究以确认这三个物种在 ILHV 维持中的作用。
