Review of dengue vectors in Cambodia: distribution, bionomics, vector competence, control and insecticide resistance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dengue fever is one of the most prevalent mosquito-borne diseases in Cambodia. Until now, no specific vaccine nor antiviral treatment exists the virus causing Dengue fever. Consequently, its prevention relies only on vector control strategies. However, efficient vector control in turn relies on a good knowledge of the biology of the vector species. Therefore, this study aims to provide the first review of the distribution, ecology, meteorological impacts, trophic behavior, vector competence, vector control and insecticide resistance of dengue vector species in Cambodia.

Methods

A systematic search of the Google Scholar and PubMed databases was conducted for relevant published articles. Of the 610 published articles originally identified, 70 articles were ultimatel
