The Transmission of Neurotropic Yellow Fever Virus by Stegomyia Mosquitoes
1. By the bites of stegomyia mosquitoes carrying neurotropic yellow fever virus, encephalitis has been produced both in white mice and in rhesus monkeys. 2. The fixed neurotropic strain of virus cannot be maintained in the mosquito host as well as can the viscerotropic strains. This is doubtless attributable in part to a smaller amount of virus ingested, because of paucity in the blood stream o...
متن کاملThe Titration of Yellow Fever Virus in Stegomyia Mosquitoes
Titrations were made of yellow fever virus in stegomyia mosquitoes, using rhesus monkeys as test animals. It was found that: (a) The average mosquito immediately after engorging on highly infectious blood contained between 1 and 2 million lethal doses of virus. The titer of freshly ingested blood was as high as 1 billion lethal doses of virus per cubic centimeter. (b) During the fortnight succe...
متن کاملEnzootic Transmission of Yellow Fever Virus, Venezuela
Phylogenetic analysis of yellow fever virus (YFV) strains isolated from Venezuela strongly supports YFV maintenance in situ in Venezuela, with evidence of regionally independent evolution within the country. However, there is considerable YFV movement from Brazil to Venezuela and between Trinidad and Venezuela.
متن کاملPolarotaxis in egg-laying yellow fever mosquitoes Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti is masked due to infochemicals.
Aquatic and water-associated insects need to locate suitable bodies of water to lay their eggs in and allow their aquatic larvae to develop. More than 300 species are known to solve this task by positive polarotaxis, relying primarily on the horizontally polarized light reflected from the water surface. The yellow fever mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti has been thought to be an exception, loc...
متن کاملVector 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...
