AbstractChikungunya and Zika are arboviruses transmitted by the mosquitoAedes aegypti. Mosquito fecundity and egg viability are important parameters of vectorial capacity. Here we aim to understand, comparatively, the effects of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) infections on the fecundity and fertility of young and oldAedes aegyptifemales. Using artificial infection blood feeding experiments we observed that both CHIKV and ZIKV do not alter the number of eggs laid when compared to uninfected females, although the egg fertility significantly decreases in both young and old CHIKV-infected females. There is an upward trend of null females (infertile females) from 2.1% in young to 6.8% in old ZIKV-infected females. Together, our data revealed that CHIKV and ZIKV affects differentlyAe. aegyptiphysiology, that may be related to different viral spread in nature.

From 10 citing papers with measurable signal
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 59% comes from its base citations and 41% from the citation network (10 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
