Transovarial transmission of all 4 dengue serotypes was demonstrated in A. albopictus mosquitoes. The rates of such transmission varied with the serotype and strain of virus. In general, the highest rates were observed with strains of dengue type 1 and the lowest with dengue type 3. Despite the use of viral strains of the 4 dengue serotypes which gave the highest rates with A. albopictus, transovarial transmission was observed in A. aegypti only with dengue type 1, and then only at a relatively low rate. Five different stains of A. aegypti were employed, including one that was known to be relatively susceptible to oral infection with dengue viruses. The findings support the view that A. aegypti, while of major importance from the point of view of transmission of dengue to man, may be relatively unimportant in the overall natural history of dengue viruses.
