Abstract
An adult female mosquito requires a blood meal to produce her eggs. If the mosquito feeds from a human with dengue virus, it becomes infected, with the virus first infecting its midgut. It takes approximately 7-14 days for the virus to infect the salivary glands, which enables the mosquito to transmit the virus to another human during its next blood meal.
