This threat comes from the past when in the Americas, this disease caused devastating urban epidemics. We report the vector competence of Ae. aegypti from Guade-loupe for yellow fever virus by determining different parameters describing virus infection, dissemination, and transmission. The results indicate that Ae. aegypti Guadeloupe are susceptible to yellow fever virus with viral particles detected in mosquito saliva at 14 and 21 days post-infection. Local authorities and more broadly, international organizations should maintain the active surveillance of Aedes mosquitoes and the spreading of human cases from South America. %G English %Z We thank Laurence Mousson and Marie Vazeille for technical help, Cédric Ramdini and Joel Gustave for their support during mosquito sampling campaigns, and Pedro Fernando da Costa Vasconselos for providing the viral strain. %2 https://pasteur.hal.science/pasteur-01887187/document %2 https://pasteur.hal.science/pasteur-01887187/file/Aedes%20aeg.%20...fever%20virus.pdf %L pasteur-01887187 %U https://pasteur.hal.science/pasteur-01887187 %~ PASTEUR %~ RIIP %~ RIIP_GUADELOUPE %~ OPENAIRE %~ ANR
