What is An Alternating Transmission Model Between Mice and Mosquitoes for Genetic Study of Dengue Virus about?
Rapidly increased incidence and prevalence of dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) in recent decades highlight the need for better understanding of the selective pressures that drive genetic and phenotypic changes in this virus. We simulated the transfer of DENV-2 between human hosts and mosquito vectors by horizontally transmitting the virus between suckling mice and Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, Diptera: Culicidae). A total of 3 cycles of alternating transmission were performed and 3 passages of virus population were harvested from the infected sucking mice. The viral titer in mice brain and infectivity to mosquitoes of theses viral populations were tested. The genome of the viruses was also sequenced. Results showed that viral titer were similar and infection rate in the mosquitoes were not significantly different among those 3 passages. This in vivo model could be utilized to explore virus evolution and genetic variance in alternating transmission.
