Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne-disease of growing public health importance in Africa. The continuous increase of number and frequency of outbreaks of dengue fever, especially in urban area in Africa underline the need to review the current data available on vectors involved in dengue virus transmission in Africa. Here, we summarized the available data on vectors involved in the transmission of dengue virus in the sylvatic and urban environments, vertical transmission, vector competence studies, and vector control strategies used in Africa. The virus was isolated mainly from , , and in the sylvatic environment and from and in the urban areas. Prospective and urgently needed studies on vectors biology, behavior, and alternative control strategies are suggested.
登革热是一种由蚊子传播的疾病，在非洲，其对公共卫生的重要性日益增加。登革热疫情的数量和频率持续上升，尤其是在非洲城市地区，这凸显了有必要审视目前关于非洲登革热病毒传播媒介的现有数据。在此，我们总结了关于登革热病毒在野生环境和城市环境中传播的媒介、垂直传播、媒介能力研究以及非洲所采用的媒介控制策略的现有数据。该病毒主要在野生环境中从[具体物种1]、[具体物种2]和[具体物种3]中分离出来，在城市地区则从[具体物种4]和[具体物种5]中分离出来。文中建议开展关于媒介生物学、行为以及替代控制策略的前瞻性且迫切需要的研究。
