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needle inoculated mice do not | unpublished data | |||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 |
SLEV, | chicken, | Cx. tarsalis | no difference in viraemia or seroconversion | Reisen et al.2000 |
