Attempts to isolate viruses from 178,181 unengorged female mosquitoes collected from different ecologic areas of Sri Lanka yielded 31 isolates: 17 of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus, nine of Getah virus, three of a Batai-related bunyavirus, and two of Arkonam virus. Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Mansonia uniformis mosquitoes were found to carry JE virus in a dry zone nonepidemic area, and Cx. pseudovishnui was found to carry it in a wet zone nonepidemic area. Japanese encephalitis virus was isolated from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. gelidus, Cx. fuscocephala, and Cx. whitmorei during a human epidemic in the dry zone. Getah virus was isolated from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. gelidus, and Cx. fuscocephala collected in the vicinity of swine. Isolations of Getah, Arkonam, and Batai-related viruses from Sri Lanka are reported for the first time.
从斯里兰卡不同生态区域采集的178181只未吸血雌蚊中分离病毒的尝试获得了31株分离株:17株日本脑炎(JE)病毒、9株盖塔病毒、3株与巴泰相关的布尼亚病毒和2株阿尔科南病毒。在干旱地区的非流行区发现三带喙库蚊和单色曼蚊携带日本脑炎病毒,在湿润地区的非流行区发现伪杂鳞库蚊携带该病毒。在干旱地区的一次人间疫情期间,从三带喙库蚊、吉氏库蚊、棕头库蚊和惠氏库蚊中分离出日本脑炎病毒。从猪附近采集的三带喙库蚊、吉氏库蚊和棕头库蚊中分离出盖塔病毒。首次报道了从斯里兰卡分离出盖塔、阿尔科南和与巴泰相关的病毒。
