OPS: ZIKV en Ae Albopictus en Mexico
En el boletín Zika - Epidemiological Update 21 April 2016 de la OPS presenta el siguiente poco alentador dato:
Zika virus detection in Aedes albopictus in Mexico
On 20 April 2016, the Mexico International Health Regulations (IHR) National Focal Point (NFP) reported that on 28 March the Arbovirus and Hemorrhagic virus Laboratory of the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (InDRE) received Aedes albopictus mosquitos for testing from the San Luis Potosi State Public Health Laboratory as part of the entomolo-virologic surveillance. The mosquitos were tested by real time RT-PCR to detect Zika virus.
On 1 April, the InDRE confirmed the detection of Zika virus in the mosquitoes. This is the first evidence of the presence of Zika virus in Aedes albopictus captured in the environment in Mexico and in the Americas.
