ESTIMATION OF POPULATION AGE STRUCTURE, DAILY SURVIVAL RATES, AND POTENTIAL TO SUPPORT DENGUE VIRUS TRANSMISSION FOR FLORIDA KEYS AEDES AEGYPTI VIA TRANSCRIPTIONAL PROFILING.

Estimation of population age structure, daily survival rates, and potential to support dengue virus transmission for Florida Keys Aedes aegypti via transcriptional profiling.

Aedes aegypti is an important vector of dengue virus and other arboviruses ngetikin that affect human health.After being ingested in an infectious bloodmeal, but before being transmitted from mosquito to human, dengue virus must disseminate from the vector midgut into the hemocoel and then the salivary glands.This process, the extrinsic incubation
