Abstract: Capability of Dengue virus to maintain its existence by two mechanism, that is horizontal transmission between veremia vertebrata that contracted by Aedes mosquito and vertical transmission from female mosquito infective to next generation. The most mechanism common occurrence is vertical transmission whereabout of transovarial transmission can be detected by many kind of way, one of way is immunositochemical technic. Immunositochemical is reported to be able detect antigen Dengue virus in low level. This research aims to prove whereabout of transovarial transmission Dengue virus on Aedes aegypti in Manado city. Researche sampel is Aedes aegypti mosquitos from eggs Aedes aegypti that was taken from urban village that is DBD case. This research was held on November 2015 – January 2016. Research result show that Aedes aegypti mosquito antigen positive Dengue are 24 tail of mosquitos from 48 tail of mosquitos that was tested with Index Transmissi Transovarial (ITT) about 39,1% - 70%. Based on research result can be proven that there is transovarial transmission Dengue virus on Aedes aegypti in West Kombos Urban Village, Singkil Distric, Manado City.Keywords: transovarial transmission, dengue virus, aedes aegypti, immunositochemical technicAbstrak: Kemampuan Virus Dengue untuk mempertahankan keberadaannya melalui dua mekanisme yaitu transmisi horizontal antara vertebrata viremia yang ditularkan oleh nyamuk Aedes dan transmisi vertikal (transovarial) yaitu dari nyamuk betina infektif ke generasi berikutnya. Mekanisme yang paling umum terjadi adalah transmisi vertikal (transovarial). Ada tidaknya transmisi transovarial dapat diketahui dengan berbagai cara, salah satunya dengan teknik imunositokimia. Metode imunositokimia dilaporkan dapat mendeteksi antigen virus Dengue dalam kadar yang rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan ada tidaknya transmisi transovarial virus Dengue pada Aedes aegypti di kota Manado. Sampel penelitian adalah nyamuk Aedes aegypti yang berasal dari telur Aedes yang diambil dari kelurahan yang terdapat kasus DBD. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan November 2015 – Januari 2016. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nyamuk Aedes aegypti yang positif antigen virus Dengue berjumlah 24 ekor nyamuk dari 48 ekor nyamuk yang diperiksa dengan Index Transmisi Transovarial (ITT) berkisar 39,1% - 70%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, terbukti bahwa adanya transmisi transovarial virus Dengue pada Aedes aegypti di Kelurahan Kombos Barat Kecamatan Singkil, Kota Manado.Kata kunci: transmisi transovarial, virus dengue, aedes aegypti, teknik imunositokimia

Detection of viruses in human sera particularly in endemic areas is cumbersome and laborious. Therefore, an alternative approach, Immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA) was performed to determine dengue virus (DENV) positivity in mosquitoes. A total of 1055 adult Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes were tested for IFA test against DENV. Minimum infection rate (MIR) for DENV was found higher during August to November 2016 ranging from 10.75 to 20.83. The average yearly MIR was about 6.64. Higher MIR for Ae. aegypti was found in Sarfabad, Noida (12.71) and Khoda Colony, Ghaziabad (11.90). Minimum MIR (4.67) was observed in Sanjay colony (Faridabad). The main contribution of this study resides in the development of a more suitable monitoring system for early detection of viral circulation and to prioritize early intervention in the non-transmission season.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a contagious disease caused by the dengue virus and is transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Aa.aegypti). The population is still a public health problem that increases the number of sufferers and also widespread, with population and education. This study aims to reveal the spatial pattern and distribution of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) with the spatial pattern and the spread of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) can result in different locations of these allegations. From the map that can be used for the prevention of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DBD) in Bandar Lampung City.

Efforts to determine the mosquito genes that affect dengue virus replication have identified a number of candidates that positively or negatively modify amplification in the invertebrate host. We used deep sequencing to compare the differential transcript abundances in Aedes aegypti 14 days post dengue infection to those of uninfected A. aegypti. The gene lethal(2)-essential-for-life [l(2)efl], which encodes a member of the heat shock 20 protein (HSP20) family, was upregulated following dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) infection in vivo. The transcripts of this gene did not exhibit differential accumulation in mosquitoes exposed to insecticides or pollutants. The induction and overexpression of l(2)efl gene products using poly(I:C) resulted in decreased DENV-2 replication in the cell line. In contrast, the RNAi-mediated suppression of l(2)efl gene products resulted in enhanced DENV-2 replication, but this enhancement occurred only if multiple l(2)efl genes were suppressed. l(2)efl homologs induce the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, and we confirmed this finding in the cell line. However, the mechanism by which l(2)efl phosphorylates eIF2α remains unclear. We conclude that l(2)efl encodes a potential anti-dengue protein in the vector mosquito.

The <em>Dengue virus</em> is the main arbovirus that affects man in terms of morbidity and mortality. The detection of the virus is very important for epidemiological surveillance, so here we propose to standardize and compare the immunodot blot (IDB) and multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (M-RT-PCR) techniques to detect and characterize the dengue virus (DENV) serotypes in samples of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvae. Thus, the IDB and M-RT-PCR techniques were standardized using macerated samples of larvae collected in nature. The use of monoclonal antibodies in IDB has not shown great results, but DENV detection through this method was possible using polyclonal antibodies. The distinction of serotypes 1, 2 and 3 was carried out by M-RT-PCR.
