Temperature, Viral Genetics, and the Transmission of West Nile Virus by Culex pipiens Mosquitoes
26 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
The distribution and intensity of transmission of vector-borne pathogens can be strongly influenced by the competence of vectors. Vector competence, in turn, can be influenced by temperature and viral genetics. West Nile virus (WNV) was introduced into the United States of America in 1999 and subsequently spread throughout much of the Americas. Previously, we have shown that a novel genotype of WNV, WN02, first...
