Abstract

The Wolbachia containing haemolymph from Wolbachia infected Drosophila third/fourth instar larvae was transferred through microinjection into 5-days-old pupae of the blood sucking stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans. There was no previous record of Wolbachia being present in S. calcitrans. From a total of 682 emerging adults, 236 were females and of these, seven females were tested positive (approximately 3%) for Wolbachia infection. Using electron microscopy, it was shown that Wolbachia were present in the muscle tissues of S. calcitrans.

Abstract

dengue fever (DF). Meanwhile, chikungunya virus causes Chikungunya fever (CF). These diseases involve three organisms, namely virus, mosquito Aedes sp., and human. The transmission of dengue and chikungunya virus is related to the population of Ae. aegypti. Banyumas regency is one of the regions with many cases of dengue and chikungnya virus infections, particularly in Purwokerto, Sokaraja, and Cilongok sub-district. Up to this time, there is no medicine and vaccine provided to treat these viruses effectively. Thus, detection of virus inside vector will be effectively performed in order to predict the transmission risk of dengue and chikungunya virus. This research aimed to know the molecular detection of dengue and chikungunya virus on adult Ae.aegypti mosquito in Sokaraja Region, Banyumas Regency. Survey was done by a cross-sectional method in Sokaraja sub-district from May 2019 – March 2019. Furthermore, technical sampling that used was purposive sampling method of adult Ae.aegypti using BG-Sentital Trap, followed by molecular detection of dengue virus using Two-step RT-PCR and chikungunya gene virus using RT-PCR. Molecular detection of DENV and CHIKV of mosquitoes which collected from Sokaraja region showed negative result
