| Abstract | We report that two laboratory colonies of Culex
quinquefasciatus and Culex pipiens mosquitoes were
experimentally unable to transmit ZIKV either up to 21
days post an infectious blood meal or up to 14 days
post intrathoracic inoculation. Infectious viral particles
were detected in bodies, heads or saliva by a
plaque forming unit assay on Vero cells. We therefore
consider it unlikely that Culex mosquitoes are involved
in the rapid spread of ZIKV. | pt_BR |
