sindbis virus isolations from saudi arabian mosquitoes.a study in late 1979 to early 1980 was conducted to assess arbovirus activity in the eastern province of saudi arabia. from 38,245 mosquitoes collected at 3 locations, 16 isolations of sindbis virus were made: 13 from culex univittatus and one each from cx tritaeniorhynchus, cx pipiens complex, and culex spp. these isolations represent the first records of a mosquito-borne virus from the gulf of arabia and implicate cx univittatus as the principal vector. a potential risk of human diseases exist ...19852859676
comparison of three methods for determining transmission rates in vector competence studies with culex univittatus and west nile and sindbis viruses.culex univittatus mosquitoes were infected by ingesting west nile and sindbis viruses, respectively. after 13-19 days, comparative viral transmission rates were determined using 3 methods: 1) transmission to hamsters by bite, 2) in vitro transmission while feeding on suspensions in capillary tubes and 3) transmission while feeding on droplets of suspension. transmission rates were 59-100%, except for sindbis virus by droplet feeding when the rate was 9%. except for the latter, rates determined b ...19892540264
climatic controls on west nile virus and sindbis virus transmission and outbreaks in south africa.abstract the processes influencing the magnitude of west nile virus (wnv) transmission from 1 year to the next require thorough investigation. the intensity of wnv transmission is related to the dynamics and interactions between the pathogen, vector, vertebrate hosts, and environment. climatic variability is one process that can influence interannual disease transmission. south africa has a long wnv and sindbis virus (sinv) record where consistent climate and disease relationships can be ident ...201121995260
[updated inventory of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) of the island of la réunion, indian ocean].a literature analysis coupled with new entomological surveys conducted between 2009 and 2012 led to changes in the list of mosquito species present on the island of la réunion. using morphological criteria, orthopodomyia arboricollis is replaced by or. reunionensis. on the basis of morphometrical and genetic criteria, culex univittatus is replaced by cx. neavei. cx. poicilipes, which was already reported missing 40 years ago, has not been found again. anopheles arabiensis is confirmed as the onl ...201323681758
