Discussion

Surveillance identifies three dengue serotypes in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, indicating complex transmission dynamics.

Dengue virus RNA was detected in 13 out of 1330 Aedes aegypti samples, indicating active virus circulation.
Molecular analysis confirmed all specimens as Aedes aegypti with specific genetic markers enhancing surveillance accuracy.
Peak dengue viral activity occurred in December 2023, suggesting potential environmental effects on transmission opportunities.
Geographic variation in serotype distribution underscores the need for targeted control measures in affected districts.

Rady et al. (2025) studied this question.
