Abstract

Ndumu virus (NDUV) is a member of the family Togaviridae and genus Alphavirus. In Kenya, the virus has been isolated from a range of mosquito species but has not been associated with human or animal morbidity. Little is know about the transmission dynamics or vertebrate reservoirs of this virus. NDUV was isolated from two pools of female Culex pipiens mosquitoes, IJR37 (n = 18) and IJR73 (n = 3), which were collected as larvae on 15 April 2013 from two dambos near the village of Marey, Ijara District, Garissa County, Kenya, and reared to adults and identified to species. These results represent the first field evidence of vertical transmission of NDUV among mosquitoes.

摘要

恩杜姆病毒（NDUV）是披膜病毒科和甲病毒属的一员。在肯尼亚，该病毒已从多种蚊子物种中分离出来，但与人类或动物发病率无关。关于该病毒的传播动态或脊椎动物宿主知之甚少。NDUV 是从两个雌性库蚊（Culex pipiens）蚊群中分离出来的，IJR37（n = 18）和 IJR73（n = 3），它们于 2013 年 4 月 15 日在肯尼亚加里萨县伊贾拉区 Marey 村附近的两个水坝中作为幼虫收集，并饲养至成虫并鉴定为种。这些结果代表了 NDUV 在蚊子中垂直传播的首例现场证据。
