The enhancement of arbovirus transmission and infection associated with mosquito feeding/saliva

virus host mosquito differential effect of mosquito on infection reference
Ae. triseriatus, needle inoculated mice did not become infected,
CVV mouse Ae. aegypti, whereas mosquito inoculation led to production Edwards et al. 1998
Cx. pipiens of viraemia and seroconversion
LACV deer, Ae. triseriatus increased and extended viraemia Osorio et al. 1996

LACV mouse Ae. triseriatus mice develop viraemia and succumb to infection, Higgs et al.
needle inoculated mice do not unpublished data
VSV mouse Ae. triseriatus ~5-fold increase in seroconversion rate Limesand et al. 2000
VSV L929 cells Ae. triseriatus significant increase in viral growth Limesand et al. 2003
WNV mouse Ae. aegypti more progressive infection, higher viraemia, Schneider et al. 2006
and accelerated neuroinvasion
WNV chicken Cx. pipiens elevated viraemia early in infection Styer et al. 2006
