Abstract
In February 2003, a pool of 6 Culex pipiens mosquitoes collected in Lehigh County, PA, tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV). West Nile viral RNA was detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. This is the first time in Pennsylvania and the third time in North America that WNV has been found in overwintering adult mosquitoes.
摘要
2003年2月，在宾夕法尼亚州利哈伊县采集的6只尖音库蚊检测出西尼罗河病毒（WNV）呈阳性。通过逆转录聚合酶链反应检测到了西尼罗河病毒RNA。这是西尼罗河病毒首次在宾夕法尼亚州被发现，也是在北美洲第三次在越冬成年蚊子中被发现。
