Is it true that Dengue virus is spread to people mainly by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes?
Yes. The CDC and a peer-reviewed review both state that dengue virus is usually spread to people through bites of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Several other studies confirm these two species as dengue vectors, though some address only one species or a single location.
