transmission of west nile virus by culex quinquefasciatus say infected with culex flavivirus izabal.the natural history and potential impact of mosquito-specific flaviviruses on the transmission efficiency of west nile virus (wnv) is unknown. the objective of this study was to determine whether or not prior infection with culex flavivirus (cxfv) izabal altered the vector competence of cx. quinquefasciatus say for transmission of a co-circulating strain of west nile virus (wnv) from guatemala.201020454569
culex flavivirus isolates from mosquitoes in guatemala.a new strain of culex flavivirus (family flaviviridae, genus flavivirus, cxfv), an insect virus first described in japan, was isolated from adult culex quinquefasciatus say (diptera: culicidae) collected in 2006 from izabal department on the caribbean coast of guatemala. mosquito pools were assayed for flavivirus rna by using flavivirus group-specific primers that amplified a 720-bp region of the nonstructural (ns) 5 gene by standard reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. from 210 pool ...200819058647
