ABSTRACT
Dengue Virus is the most prevalent arthropods borne viral infection in tropical and
sub-tropical regions worldwide and they are transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes
albopictus. This experiment was conducted with the aim of detecting and
establishing possible sylvatic transmission of Dengue Virus in mosquitoes caught in
Oye Ekiti. Mosquito life traps were used to trap 200 Aedes mosquitoes which were
then knocked down by the use of insecticides. RNA were extracted from the
mosquitoes and amplified using PCR machine. The amplified RNA were loaded into
gel and electrophoresis machine was used to test for the presence of Dengue Virus in the sample. In all the mosquitoes tested, no Dengue Virus was detected.
