AB  - Aedes aegypti from 24 collections in Mexico and the United States were challenged orally with dengue 2 virus JAM1409 (DEN-2-JAM 1409).  The vector competence (VC) of the populations ranged from 24% to 83%.  Mosquito populations from the Yucatan exhibited greater VC than those from other areas of Mexico.  The presence of absence of a midgut infection barrier (MIB) and a midgut escape barrier(MEB) was determined for mosquitoes in each ranged from 4% to 43% in the collections.  The MIB and MEB were not completely independent as determined by regression analysis.  Midgut infection rates were dose dependent.
