Title: Zika virus outbreak in the Americas: Is Aedes albopictus an overlooked culprit? Document date: 2016_3_30
ID: gjxumrmm_7
Snippet: These observations are similar to that of adaptive evolution of CHIKV in Ae. albopictus, previously reported by us and others (Butt et al., 2014) . Much convincing evidence has recently emerged to support this notion, including: (i) both ZIKV and CHIKV have been repeatedly observed to follow similar patterns of evolution and spread in different regions (Musso et al., 2015) ; (ii) in an environment containing both species of Aedes mosquitoes, a si.....
Document: These observations are similar to that of adaptive evolution of CHIKV in Ae. albopictus, previously reported by us and others (Butt et al., 2014) . Much convincing evidence has recently emerged to support this notion, including: (i) both ZIKV and CHIKV have been repeatedly observed to follow similar patterns of evolution and spread in different regions (Musso et al., 2015) ; (ii) in an environment containing both species of Aedes mosquitoes, a significantly greater number of Ae. albopictus than Ae. aegypti were ZIKV positive, and Ae. albopictus was identified as the primary vector for a ZIKV outbreak in Gabon (Grard et al., 2014) ; and (iii) a significant increase in the geographic distributions of Ae. albopictus in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas was observed in a recent large-scale global distribution analysis (Kraemer et al., 2015) .
