To determine the potential role of vertical transmission in Zika virus expansion, we evaluated larval pools of perorally infected Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus adult female mosquitoes; ≈1/84 larvae tested were Zika virus-positive; and rates varied among mosquito populations. Thus, vertical transmission may play a role in Zika virus spread and maintenance.
为了确定垂直传播在寨卡病毒传播中的潜在作用,我们评估了经口感染的埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊成年雌性蚊子的幼虫样本;约1/84的测试幼虫寨卡病毒呈阳性;且不同蚊子种群的阳性率有所不同。因此,垂直传播可能在寨卡病毒的传播和维持中发挥作用。
