Nationwide surveillance detects yellow fever and chikungunya viruses in multiple Aedes mosquito species in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since the reemergence of yellow fever in 2017, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has been coordinating responses to local outbreaks with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO). The National Arbovirus and Vectors Research Centre (NAVRC) has been implementing targeted vector control interventions to mitigate the occurrence of these outbreaks. This study sought to identify the vectors driving yellow fever (YF) transmission and other public health arboviruses and their distribution across Nigeria.

Methods

Between 2017 and 2020, larvae, pupae, and adult mosquitoes were collected, largely targeting Aedes Stegomyia mosquitoes, in observational, analytical, and cross-sectional surveys conducted in sixteen YF outbreak states of Nigeria. Adult mosqui
