Mosquitoes salivate before ingesting blood, and sporozoites are transmitted during this phase of feeding. In the laboratory, malaria-infected Aedes aegypti were allowed to probe on a series of three chicks during a 5-min period. Probing on each host was interrupted after 10 s. Our results demonstrate that up to three hosts can be serially infected with avian malaria during a 5-min period.
蚊子在吸血前会分泌唾液,而子孢子在这个取食阶段传播。在实验室中,让感染疟疾的埃及伊蚊在5分钟内对三只小鸡依次进行探查。每只宿主探查10秒后中断。我们的结果表明,在5分钟内,多达三只宿主可被依次感染禽疟。
