Abstract
We detected vertical transmission of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in wild populations of Aedes aegypti from San Marcos, Guerrero, Mexico, with real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. A total of 20 pools (1-11 specimens/pool) of larvae, male, and female mosquitoes were tested. We report the detection of CHIKV in 2 of 11 larval pools, 4 of 5 male pools, and 1 of 4 female pools, from field-collected mosquitoes.
