  abstract = {{U}rban {A}edes mosquitoes are vectors of many viruses affecting human health such as dengue, chikungunya and {Z}ika viruses. {I}nsecticide resistance and environmental toxicity risks hamper the effectiveness of chemical control against these mosquito vectors. {A}lternative control methods, such as the use of mosquito-specific entomopathogenic viruses should be explored. {N}umerous studies have focused on evaluating the potential of different densoviruses species as biological control agents. {H}owever, knowledge on the extent of inter- and intra-specific variations in the susceptibility of {A}edes mosquitoes to infection by different densoviruses remains insufficient. {I}n this study, we compared infection and mortality rates induced by the {A}edes albopictus densovirus 2 in different strains of {A}edes albopictus and {A}edes aegypti mosquitoes. {T}he two {A}edes species were different in terms of susceptibility to viral infection. {U}nder laboratory conditions, {A}edes albopictus densovirus 2 appeared more virulent for the different strains of {A}edes aegypti tested than for those of {A}edes albopictus. {I}n addition, we also found significant intra-specific variation in infection and mortality rates. {T}hus, although even if {A}edes albopictus densoviruses could be powerful biocontrol agents used in the management of urban {A}edes populations, our results also call into question the use of single viral isolate as biocontrol agents.},
