eastern equine encephalitis virus in birds: relative competence of european starlings (sturnus vulgaris).	to determine whether eastern equine encephalitis (eee) virus infection in starlings may be more fulminant than in various native candidate reservoir birds, we compared their respective intensities and durations of viremia. viremias are more intense and longer lasting in starlings than in robins and other birds. starlings frequently die as their viremia begins to wane; other birds generally survive. various aedes as well as culiseta melanura mosquitoes can acquire eee viral infection from infecte ...	1999	10466964
interrupted blood-feeding by culiseta melanura (diptera: culicidae) on european starlings.	to determine whether culiseta melanura (coquillett) mosquitoes tend to take multiple blood meals when birds of certain species serve as hosts, we compared the frequencies with which such mosquitoes fed upon caged starlings and robins and determined whether similar volumes of blood were imbibed from each. the blood of robins (turdus migratorius) and european starlings (sturnus vulgaris) was marked contrastingly by injecting birds with rubidium or cesium salts. caged birds were placed together in ...	2001	11268693
