| Abstract |
To determine their relative roles in transmission of dengue virus (DENV) in the Torres Strait region of northern Australia, we examined infection and dissemination of a sympatric strain of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) in Aedes scutellaris, Ae. albopictus, and Ae. aegypti. In experiments using membrane feeders for virus exposure, infection rates were 83% and 43% for Ae. scutellaris and Ae. aegypti, respectively. Salivary gland infection rates for both species were 43%. In experiments using pledgets for virus exposure, infection rates for Ae. aegypti, Ae. scutellaris, and Ae. albopictus were 68%, 55%, and 37%, respectively. Aedes albopictus exhibited the greatest barriers to infection with only 7% tested developing a salivary gland infection, compared to 42% and 24% of Ae. aegypti and Ae. scutellaris, respectively. These results suggest that Ae. scutellaris may have been responsible for DENV transmission on Torres Strait islands, where Ae. aegypti does not occur. In contrast, Ae. albopictus may not be an important vector of DENV-2 from the Torres Strait. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 September 2015.
All research outputs
#8,783,469
of 25,986,827 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association
#1
of 1 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#44,361
of 169,342 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,986,827 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one scored the same or higher as 0 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 169,342 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
