Description
Sir, Transovarial or vertical transmission of dengue viruses across mosquito generations (1-3) may play a crucial role in retention of viral pathogen during inter epidemic periods of dengue in an endemic setting. Significance of persistence of this phenomenon across mosquito generations as maintenance mechanism of virus has already been reported (4,5). Recently we have reported that transovarial transmission preceeds appearance of human infection of dengue (6). This necessitates that vertical transmission of dengue virus needs to be studied as host-virus interaction in mosquitoes to understand the molecular epidemiology of dengue.
