Quantification of West Nile virus in vector mosquito saliva.
Quantification of west nile virus in vector mosquito saliva. Arthropod-borne arboviruses such as WNV are transmitted to vertebrates as an infectious mosquito probes the skin for blood depositing the virus and saliva into the skin and circulation. Quantification of West Nile virus in the saliva of Culex species collected from the southern United States. Mean estimated days that WNV titers were 1048and 1056were 17 1123 and 14 1016.
Mosquito saliva favored modulation of proteins associated with gene regulation in JEV infected neuroblastoma cells while modulation of proteins associated with protein maturation signal transduction and ion transporters was found in WNV infected neuroblastoma cells. We identified D7 salivary proteins of Culex tarsalis a West Nile virus WNV vector in North America and expressed 36 kDa recombinant D7 rD7 protein for use as a vaccine. Despite multiple isolations of USUV from Cx.
This adds value to the vector competence assessment of this species. Vaccinated mice exhibited enhanced interferon-γ and decreased interleukin-10 expression after uninfected mosquito bite. A stochastic narrowing of the mutant swarm was measured over time during infection.
Mosquito saliva deposited with WNV alters the. Highlights An artificial mutant swarm of neutral West Nile virus variants was created. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction quantification of West Nile virus transmitted by Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus.
In this study a real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR was used to enumerate the amount of West Nile virus WNV secreted in mosquito saliva following oral infection. Japonicus could potentially be the natural vector of West Nile virus in Europe where outbreaks have been reported in areas invaded by the mosquito 25 29. Transmission rates for mosquitoes with a disseminated infection after oral exposure to West Nile Japanese encephalitis or Getah virus Open in new tab The Cx.
There is no human vaccine for WNV available so novel approaches to preventing infection are needed. West Nile virus infection rates in pooled and individual mosquito samples. Vector-borne and Zoonotic Diseases 4.
NASCI1 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases PO Box 2087 Fort Collins CO 80522 ABSTRACT. Quantification of West Nile virus in vector mosquito saliva. Culicidae for West Nile virus family Flaviviridae genus Flavivirus WNV was comparedInfection rates of both species were similar 14 d after feeding on chickens with WNV titers ranging from 10 42 to 10 87 plaque-forming units PFUml.
West Nile virus WNV. Our results demonstrate that all variants have the potential to survive intrahost bottlenecks yet mean swarm breadth decreases during both midgut infection and transmission when starting populations contain higher levels of minority variants. Vector competence of Aedes vexans Meigen and Culex pipiens pipiens L.
Saliva was collected from 4 species of mosquitoes intrathoracically inoculated. Therefore we infected Cx. This arthropod-borne virus is directly co-inoculated with mosquito saliva through the epidermis and the dermis during blood meal.
WNV was introduced to the Western Hemisphere in 1999 and was quickly spread throughout the US reviewed by 1. Humans and equines are not part of the natural transmission cycle but when they become infected severe illness or death can result. Depending on the virus mosquito species and method of quantification employed the estimated level of virus inoculated within mosquito saliva ranges from approximately 10 1 to 10 7 units of infectious virus.
West Nile Virus WNV is a flavivirus involved in many human infections worldwide. Am J Trop Med Hyg 71120123. The global emergence of West Nile virus WNV has highlighted the importance of mosquito-borne viruses.
Author Summary West Nile virus WNV is a mosquito-borne flavivirus found on all continents except Antarctica. Pipiens Turell et al. Pallens were competent laboratory vectors of WNV with vector competence levels similar to those observed for North American Cx.
Neavei in Africa its vector competence remains unproven. Flaviviridae is a single-stranded positive sense RNA virus that exists in transmission cycles mainly involving Culex species mosquitoes and passerine birds. Results demonstrate the probability of variant survival.
Median infectious doses and 95 confidence intervals CI. Google Scholar Condotta SA Hunter FF and Bidochka MJ. BIGGERSTAFF ALICIA JOHNSON AND ROGER S.
Interestingly mosquito saliva enhances West Nile virus pathogenesis in a mouse model possibly by modulating TH1TH2 responses suggesting that certain salivary proteins are important for. These are inoculated in vector saliva into the vertebrate skin and circulatory system. The amount of infectious virus in the saliva was quantified by plaque assay and the number of WNV genomic equivalents GE was measured by reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction.
However we found unexpectedly that rD7 vaccination resulted in enhanced pathogenesis from mosquito-transmitted WNV infection. Mean titers 95 confidence interval of 8 chipmunks were 10393345 10676470 and 10584175PFUmL on days 13 postinoculation pi and 1058PFUmL in 1 chipmunk on day 4 pi. Neavei orally with the USUV reference strain and used reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain.
J Am Mosq Control Assoc 214953. Significant decreases in swarm breadth occur with midgut infection and transmission. Changes to mutant swarm breadth in Culex pipiens were tracked over time and space.
Usutu virus USUV a flavivirus belonging to the Japanese encephalitis serocomplex was isolated for the first time from a Culex neavei mosquito in 1959 in South Africa. Here using artificial mutant swarms composed of neutral variants of West Nile virus WNV we tracked changes to swarm breadth over time and space in Culex pipiens mosquitoes. Saliva was collected from 4 species of mosquitoes intrathoracically inoculated with West Nile virus WNV.
