Vector competence of Australian mosquitoes for yellow fever virus.
The vector competence of Australian mosquitoes for yellow fever virus (YFV) was evaluated. Infection and transmission rates in Cairns and Townsville populations of Aedes aegypti and a Brisbane strain of Ae. notoscriptus were not significantly different from a well-characterized YFV-susceptible strain of Ae. aegypti. After exposure to 10⁷·² tissue culture infectious dose (TCID₅₀)/mL of an Africa...

BACKGROUND Ross River virus is Australia's most common and widespread arbovirus. It causes epidemic polyarthritis and is associated with significant morbidity and cost to society. OBJECTIVE This article aims to increase clinicians' awareness of the epidemiological and clinical features of Ross River virus and provide information regarding prevention, diagnosis and management. DISCUSSION Ros...
متن کاملVector competence of selected African mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) species for Rift Valley fever virus.
Outbreaks of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in Egypt, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia have indicated the potential for this disease to spread from its enzootic areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Because little is known about the potential for most African mosquito species to transmit RVF virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Phlebovirus, RVFV), we conducted studies to determine the vector competence of selected African...
متن کاملVector competence of two Indian populations of Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes to three West Nile virus strains.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Culex quinquefasciatus is one of the principal vectors of West Nile virus (WNV). The mosquito also acts as a bridge vector as it feeds on both birds and humans. In the background of the recent reports of WNV activity in Kerala and Assam with fatalities, a study was initiated to determine the growth kinetics and transmission mechanisms of three strains of WNV in two popul...
متن کاملClimate variability and Ross River virus transmission.
OBJECTIVES (1) To examine the feasibility to link climate data with monthly incidence of Ross River virus (RRv). (2) To assess the impact of climate variability on the RRv transmission. DESIGN An ecological time series analysis was performed on the data collected between 1985 to 1996 in Queensland, Australia. METHODS Information on the notified RRv cases was obtained from the Queensland Dep...
