A Preliminary Investigation of Possible Oral and Transovarial Transmission of Ross River Virus by Aedes Normanensis (taylor) from the Northern Territory
نویسنده
چکیده
Wild caught females of Aedes normanensis from Mataranka in the Northern Territory were fed on new born mice intracerebrally inoculated with Ross River (RR) virus isolated from the Northern Territory. Classic RR virus symptoms were produced in litters of new born mice from five to eight days after exposure to the infected mosquitoes. Tests on the mice showed cytopathic effects and the presence of alpha virus. Eggs laid by the caged mosquitoes reared to adults failed to show any evidence of transovarial transmission at least at the 0.46% level of individuals examined.

Characterization of Fitzroy River Virus and Serologic Evidence of Human and Animal Infection
In northern Western Australia in 2011 and 2012, surveillance detected a novel arbovirus in mosquitoes. Genetic and phenotypic analyses confirmed that the new flavivirus, named Fitzroy River virus, is related to Sepik virus and Wesselsbron virus, in the yellow fever virus group. Most (81%) isolates came from Aedes normanensis mosquitoes, providing circumstantial evidence of the probable vector. ...

Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever. The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus. So the current study was planned ...
متن کاملSusceptibility and transovarial transmission of dengue virus in Aedes aegypti: a preliminary study of morphological variations.
Two types of morphological variants, the dark form and the pale form of Aedes aegypti were selected from wild-caught mosquitos. Ascertaining any differences between the two forms for susceptibility to dengue type 2 virus was performed by oral feeding. Transovarial transmission was further determined from the progenies of infected mosquitos by tracing them to the third generation. Significant di...

Comparative potential of Aedes triseriatus, Aedes albopictus, and Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to transovarially transmit La Crosse virus.
Aedes triseriatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae), the major vector of La Crosse (LAC) virus, efficiently transmits LAC virus both horizontally and transovarially. We compared the vector competence and transovarial transmission ability of Ae. triseriatus, Aedes albopictus Skuse, and Aedes aegypti (L.) for LAC virus. Ae. triseriatus and Ae. albopictus were significantly more susceptible to oral infec...
