Viruses, Vol. 11, Pages 695: Experimental Assessment of Zika Virus Mechanical Transmission by Aedes Aegypti

Viruses, Vol. 11, Pages 695: Experimental Assessment of Zika Virus Mechanical Transmission by Aedes Aegypti Viruses doi: 10.3390/v11080695 Authors: Antoine Boullis Nadège Cordel Cécile Herrmann-Storck Anubis Vega-Rúa The pandemic emergence of several mosquito-borne viruses highlights the need to understand the different ways in which they can be transmitted by vectors to human hosts. In this study, we evaluated the propensity of Aedes aegypti to transmit mechanically Zika virus...
