Failure of Dengue Viruses to Replicate in Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)
1 Nov 1992
Abstract excerpt
Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) and Aedes aegypti (L.) were parenterally infected with dengue viruses and virus replication was monitored at intervals after infection in each species. Dengue viruses replicated rapidly in Ae. aegypti, reaching a peak titer of 10(6)-10(7) mosquito infectious dose 50 (MID50) per mosquito.
