Identifying the array of vectors that play a role in perpetuating West Nile virus (WNV) infection in endemic foci will help in controlling the disease. Aedes japonicus has the potential to be a vector in the wild of at least 3 kinds of encephalitis, including WNV. Aedes japonicus is a nonnative species in the USA that is temperature tolerant and a potential human biter. Detection of WNV in mosquito pools of this field-collected invasive species, combined with their ability to feed on humans, make this mosquito species a possible public health concern. In this study, we collected mosquito abundance data and tested them for WNV-positive mosquito samples from 3 counties in New York State. We found a significant association between the season and land demography and the likelihood of the virus in Ae. japonicus.
确定在地方性流行地区持续存在西尼罗河病毒（WNV）感染的一系列向量，将有助于控制疾病。日本伊蚊有潜力成为至少 3 种脑炎的野生媒介，包括 WNV。日本伊蚊是美国的非本地物种，对温度具有耐受性，并且可能叮咬人类。在野外收集的这种入侵物种的蚊子群中检测到 WNV，并结合其吸食人类血液的能力，使这种蚊子成为一个可能的公共卫生关注点。在这项研究中，我们收集了蚊子数量数据，并从纽约州的 3 个县测试了WNV 阳性蚊子样本。我们发现，季节、土地人口统计学与病毒在日本伊蚊中出现的可能性之间存在显著关联。
