Abstract

Experiments were conducted in the laboratory on Phlebotomus papatasi to determine the possible role of males in maintaining or sustaining the Chandipura virus (CHPV) activity in nature. This study indicated that infected males are capable of passing on the virus to female sand flies while mating. The infection rate was found to be 12.5% in uninfected females when mated with infected males. The occurrence of venereal transmission of this virus may have epidemiologic importance in the natural cycle of CHPV.

摘要

在实验室中对巴氏白蛉进行了实验，以确定雄性在自然界中维持或持续传播钱德普尔病毒（CHPV）活动中可能发挥的作用。这项研究表明，受感染的雄性在交配时能够将病毒传播给雌性白蛉。当未感染的雌性与受感染的雄性交配时，感染率为12.5%。这种病毒的性传播在CHPV的自然循环中可能具有流行病学意义。
