Culex mosquitoes are experimentally unable to transmit Zika virus
We report that two laboratory colonies of Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex pipiens mosquitoes were experimentally unable to transmit ZIKV either up to 21 days post an infectious blood meal or up to 14 days post intrathoracic inoculation. Infectious viral particles were detected in bodies, heads or saliva by a plaque forming unit assay on Vero cells. We therefore consider it unlikely that Culex ...
متن کاملAmerican Aedes vexans Mosquitoes are Competent Vectors of Zika Virus
AbstractStarting in 2013-2014, the Americas have experienced a massive outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) which has now reached at least 49 countries. Although most cases have occurred in South America and the Caribbean, imported and autochthonous cases have occurred in the United States. Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are known vectors of ZIKV. Little is known about the potential for...
متن کاملPotential of selected Senegalese Aedes spp. mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) to transmit Zika virus
BACKGROUND Zika virus (ZIKV; genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae) is an emerging virus of medical importance maintained in a zoonotic cycle between arboreal Aedes spp. mosquitoes and nonhuman primates in African and Asian forests. Serological evidence and virus isolations have demonstrated widespread distribution of the virus in Senegal. Several mosquito species have been found naturally infe...
متن کاملVertical Transmission of Zika Virus in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
Previous experimental studies have demonstrated that a number of mosquito-borne flavivirus pathogens are vertically transmitted in their insect vectors, providing a mechanism for these arboviruses to persist during adverse climatic conditions or in the absence of a susceptible vertebrate host. In this study, designed to test whether Zika virus (ZIKV) could be vertically transmitted, female Aede...
متن کاملMosquitocidal activity of some volatile oils against Aedes caspius mosquitoes.
Vector borne diseases are a major source of illness and death worldwide. Mosquitoes are one of the most important vectors that alone transmit diseases to more than 700 million people per annum1. For instances, malaria alone kills 3 million each year, including 1 child every 30 sec2, is transmitted by Anopheles gambiae and Aedes caspius is the vector of Tahyna (TAH) virus in the Mediterranean re...
