Further Studies on the Experimental Transmission of Yellow Fever by Sabethes Chloropterus *

Abstract

Summary Confirmation is provided of previously reported experimental transmission of yellow fever virus by the bites of Sabethes chloropterus. This mosquito is a relatively inefficient vector, however, and requires a suitable virus strain, a high titer of virus in the infective meal, a prolonged extrinsic incubation period and a highly susceptible host, to be successful.
