- W2884236481 abstract "Background: Buruli ulcer (BU) continues to be a serious public health threat in wet tropical regions and more specifically in the coastal west and central Africa. The mode of transmission of its etiological agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans (MU), remains poorly understood. In Australia, MU has been identified in several environmental samples including both the larval and adult mosquitoes. However, there is no clear information linking mosquitoes to BU transmission in Africa, the continent with the highest endemicity of this disease. In this study, mosquito species collected in endemic villages in Benin were screened for the presence of MU. In addition, the ability of mosquitoes larvae to pick-up MU from their environment and remain colonized through the larval developmental stages to the adult stage was investigated. Methods & Materials: Seven thousand two hundred and eighteen (7,218) adults and larvae mosquitoes were sampled from endemic and nonendemic villages and screened for MU DNA targets (IS2404, IS2606, and KR-B) using quatitative real time PCR. Results: MU was not detected in any of the field collected samples. Additional studies of artificially infected larvae of Anopheles kisumu with MU strains revealed that mosquitoes larvae are able to ingest and host MU during L1, L2, L3, and L4 developmental stages. However, we noticed an absence of these bacteria at both pupae and adult stages, certainly revealing the low ability of infected or colonized mosquitoes to vertically transmit MU to their offspring. Conclusion: The overall findings highlight the low implication of mosquitoes as biological vectors in the transmission cycle of MU from the risk environments to humans." @default.
