Experimental studies were carried out to determine the vector potential of four species of mosquitoes to West Nile (WN) virus, viz. Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. vishnui, Cx. bitaeniorhynchus and Cx. univittatus. All the four species of mosquitoes successfully transmitted and supported the growth of WN virus. The study indicated that the four species of mosquitoes could act as potential vectors of WN virus in nature.
开展了实验研究以确定四种蚊子对西尼罗河(WN)病毒的媒介潜能,即三带喙库蚊、致倦库蚊、二带喙库蚊和单带库蚊。所有这四种蚊子均成功传播并支持WN病毒的生长。该研究表明,这四种蚊子在自然界中可能充当WN病毒的潜在媒介。
