Mortality Rate and Gonotropic Cycle Serotipe Denv-2 Transovarial Transmission through Intratoracal

Transovarial transmission is an important role of Aedes aegypti as an intermediate host. This role is one of the factors dengue virus can survive in nature during interepidemic. DENV-2 transovarial transmission is an important problem because there has been evidence of horizontal transmission of DENV-2 serotypes by vertically infected mosquitoes. The study aimed to determine the mortality rate and gonotropic cycle of serotype denv-2 transovarial transmission through intratoracal in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with the intervention of intratoracal DENV-2 serotype virus infection. The population in this study was Aedes aegypti mosquito female laboratory colony. The results showed a mortality rate of 87.2%, there were differences in the number of gonotropic cycle eggs (p <0.0001) with mean different: 13.5. and infection rate of DENV-2 transovarial transmission is 30–40%. An active role for the community is needed in eradicating mosquito breeding places in each gonotropic cycle.
