2007年在加蓬利伯维尔爆发的主要媒介被确定为白纹伊蚊，被困在附近的法国军营周围。基孔肯雅病毒是从蚊子中分离出来的，发现与A226V流行的人类毒株相同。这是第一次实地研究表明最近抵达的白纹伊蚊在中非基孔肯雅病毒传播中的作用，并证明了该物种在改变加蓬基孔肯雅病毒流行病学表现方面的作用。
The primary vector at the origin of the 2007 outbreak in Libreville, Gabon is identified as Aedes albopictus, trapped around the nearby French military camp. The Chikungunya virus was isolated from mosquitoes and found to be identical to the A226V circulating human strain. This is the first field study showing the role of the recently arrived species Aedes albopictus in Chikungunya virus transmission in Central Africa, and it demonstrates this species' role in modifying the epidemiological presentation of Chikungunya in Gabon.
