India is endemic for diseases like Dengue, Chikungunya and recently Zika has been reported from few states. Vector control is the only way to contain these diseases, however, data regarding vectors from central India is lacking; to fulfill the lacuna we conducted this study.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n Entomological surveys were conducted from November 2017 to December 2018 for\n Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n species in Dengue endemic areas of central India. The mosquitoes were identified, pooled and tested for the presence of Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika viruses by RT-PCR. The PCR products were sequenced to identify serotypes and genotypes of viruses.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results:<\/jats:italic>\n A total of 2991 adults of\n Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n specimens were collected and tested.\n Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n (94.6%) was found to be the most abundant species. Highest mosquito density was recorded in the monsoon periods. Dengue (n=5) and Chikungunya (n=4) virus were detected from pools of female\n Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n . One pool of male\n Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n was positive for Dengue virus-3 and Chikungunya virus. Zika virus was not detected from any pool.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Interpretation & conclusion:<\/jats:italic>\n The findings suggest that\n Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n is the principal vector of Dengue and Chikungunya, which is capable to transmit these viruses vertically. The findings have epidemiological importance and will be helpful to program managers.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-9062.321753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,21]],"date-time":"2022-12-21T01:32:31Z","timestamp":1671586351000},"page":"135-140","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Molecular xenomonitoring of Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika infections"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Gyan","family":"Chand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Subhash","family":"Godbole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Shivlata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lalit Kumar","family":"Sahare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahendra","family":"Ukey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L S","family":"Kaushal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pradip V","family":"Barde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e000530","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2017-000530","article-title":"Zika, chikungunya and dengue: the causes and threats of new and re-emerging arboviral diseases","volume":"3","author":"Paix\u00e3o","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMJ Glob Health"},{"key":"R3-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0005625","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0005625","article-title":"Contemporary status of insecticide resistance in the major Aedes vectors of arboviruses infecting humans","volume":"11","author":"Moyes","year":"2017","journal-title":"PLoS Negl Trop Dis"},{"key":"R5-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-9062.225833","article-title":"Aedes vittatus (Bigot) mosquito: An emerging threat to public health","volume":"54","author":"Sudeep","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Vector Borne Dis"},{"key":"R6-6-20240830","first-page":"736","article-title":"Predatory potential of Platynectes sp.
