佛罗里达大学佛罗里达医学昆虫学实验室的研究人员在一项对巴西收集的亚洲虎蚊(Aedesalbopictus)的测试中发现了Zika病毒的RNA片段。这表明,除了已知的黄热病蚊子以外,可能存在其他的物种作为Zika病毒的载体。研究的相关结果发表在2017年4月14日的《Journal of Medical Entomology》期刊上。
Researchers at the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory at the University of Florida discovered an RNA fragment of the Zika virus in a test of Aedes albopictus collected in Brazil. This shows that in addition to the known yellow fever mosquitoes other species may exist as vectors for the Zika virus. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Medical Entomology issue, April 14, 2017.
