Vector Competence of Aedes caspius and Ae. albopictus Mosquitoes for Zika Virus, Spain.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We assessed the vector competence of Aedes caspius and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Spain for the transmission of Zika virus. Whereas Ae. albopictus mosquitoes were a competent vector, Ae. caspius mosquitoes were unable to transmit Zika virus. We also identified high levels of vertical transmission of Zika virus in Ae. albopictus mosquitoes.
