Species Composition And Risk Of Transmission Of Aedes-Borne Arboviruses Around The Mole Game Reserve In Northern Ghana

ABSTRACT

Aedes-borne viral diseases mainly Dengue (DEN), Zika (ZIK) and Chikungunya (CHK) have

contributed to mortality and morbidity in the world especially in Africa. There have been major

outbreaks recorded in West Africa. Ghana has not recorded any outbreak of these diseases but

the country is at risk of future outbreaks due to its proximity to West African countries where

outbreaks have been recorded. This study assessed the risk of transmission of Dengue (DENV),

Chikungunya (CHKV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses in Larabanga and Mole Game Reserve area in

Savannah Ghana. The immature and adult stages of Aedes mosquitoes were collected from

Larabanga and Mole Game Reserve area. There was a significant (P
