Abstract
From the neighbour houses, 18 mosquito pools (12.7%) were positive for DENV-3 (12%) and DENV-4 (0.7%) viruses. From these 26 RT-PCR positive mosquito pools (containing 1-25 mosquitoes each), 22 pools (84.6%) were positive for DENV-3. The most prevalent serotype in the 2001 dengue outbreak was also DENV-3. The minimum infection rate in both A. aegypti collections, from dengue houses and neighbour houses was 17 and 15 per 1,000, respectively. The relevance of these results for dengue surveillance is discussed.
