Laboratory studies were carried out with two geographic strains of Aedes polynesiensis and one strain of Aedes aegypti to determine whether they could transmit Ross River virus (RRV). Both species were shown to be good vectors of RRV, but Ae. polynesiensis was the most susceptible. Ae. polynesiensis represents a new vector for this virus and the epidemiologic implications of RRV spread by both mosquito species are discussed.
对两种地理株的波利尼西亚伊蚊和一种埃及伊蚊进行了实验室研究,以确定它们是否能够传播罗斯河病毒(RRV)。结果表明,这两种蚊子都是RRV的良好传播媒介,但波利尼西亚伊蚊最为易感。波利尼西亚伊蚊是该病毒的一种新传播媒介,文中还讨论了这两种蚊子传播RRV的流行病学意义。
