Culex torrentium Mosquito Role as Major Enzootic Vector Defined by Rate of Sindbis Virus Infection, Sweden, 2009 (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/21/5/14-1577)

摘要

We isolated Sindbis virus (SINV) from the enzootic mosquito vectors Culex torrentium , Cx. pipiens , and Culiseta morsitans collected in an area of Sweden where SINV disease is endemic. The infection rate in Cx. torrentium mosquitoes was exceptionally high (36 infections/1,000 mosquitoes), defining Cx. torrentium as the main enzootic vector of SINV in Scandinavia.
