Aedes camptorhynchus (Thom.) collected on the mid-south coast of New South Wales during the winter of 1982 were highly susceptible to infection (ID50 = 102.4 VERO pfu/mosquito) when fed on rat tail skins containing blood and serial dilutions of the T48 strain of Ross River (RR) virus. After 2 d, when no virus was detectable, rapid proliferation allowed transmission from 5 d post ingestion. A maximum transmission rate occurred 9 d post-feeding when 4 of 4 infected mosquitoes transmitted virus. The susceptibility of Ae camptorhynchus to RR virus infection was compared with that of a laboratory colony of Ae aegypti (L.) (ID50 = 103.8 VERO pfu/mosquito) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
