Resumo: We carried out dengue (DENV) - chikungunya virus (CHIKV) surveillance in wild populations of Aedes aegypti from Guerrero, Mexico, from 2012 to 2014 following a st-ard national protocol of the Mexican Dengue Control Program. A total of 284 pools (15-30 specimens/pool) of female mosquitoes were tested with real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to detect DENV - CHIKV. We report for the 1st time the detection of CHIKV from field-collected mosquitoes at Acapulco - Juchitán in 2014. Results from DENV are also reported.
