INTRODUCTION:
To detect dengue virus, eggs of Aedes sp were collected in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in 2007.METHODS:
Egg samples were subsequently hatched and the larvae were tested for the presence of dengue virus RNA by RT-PCR.RESULTS:
Among the Aedes aegypti larvae samples, 163 (37.4 percent) out of 435 were positive, including 32 (10.9 percent) of 293 individual larvae samples concomitantly positive for two serotypes.CONCLUSIONS:
Virological surveillance detecting coinfected vectors in the field could represent an important strategy for understanding the numerous factors involved in the transmission and clinical presentation of dengue.
