Possibility of Hereditary Transmission of Yellow Fever Virus by Aedes Aegypti (linn.) by Cornelius B. Philip

چکیده
Hereditary pasSage of yellow fever virus through mosquito eggs was first investigated by Marchoux and Simond (1906) who reported successful transmission to a human being through the first generation offspring of an infective mosquito. Rosenau and Goldberger failed to confirm this work; in fact none of thirteen susceptible human beings, bitten by mosquitoes reared from eggs of infected female stegomyia, showed any signs of yellow fever. Stokes, Bauer and Hudson (1928) also obtained negative results when they allowed 79 mosquitoes, reared from the eggs of infective females, to bite a normal rhesus monkey. Hindle (1929) has pointed out the importance of further experimentation, especially as he has shown by inoculation of various parts of infected mosquitoes that the virus is not confined to the salivary glands. I t was felt by the West African Yellow Fever Commission that information on this important point was still inadequate, and at the suggestion of Dr. Henry Beeuwkes, the problem was again taken up.

Possibility of Hereditary Transmission of Yellow Fever Virus by Aedes Aegypti (linn.)
Attempts to obtain passage of yellow fever virus from one generation to the next in A. aegypti were unsuccessful. Subcutaneous injections at varying intervals of a saline emulsion of 200 eggs laid by an infective lot of mosquitoes produced no reaction in six normal M. rhesus monkeys. Negative results were also obtained in five biting and two injection experiments with progeny of the same infect...

Background: Aedes aegypti is the main vector of the yellow fever and dengue virus. This mosquito has become the major indirect cause of morbidity and mortality of the human worldwide. Dengue virus activity has been reported recently in the western areas of Saudi Arabia. There is no vaccine for dengue virus until now, and the control of the disease depends on the control of the vector. Objectiv...
متن کاملYellow Fever Virus Infectivity for Bolivian Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
The absence of urban yellow fever virus (YFV) in Bolivian cities has been attributed to the lack of competent urban mosquito vectors. Experiments with Aedes aegypti from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, demonstrated infection (100%), dissemination (20%), and transmission of a Bolivian YFV strain (CENETROP-322).
