Experimental studies of susceptibility of Italian Aedes albopictus to Zika virus

http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=22468

Un articolo a cura di esponenti dell ISS.
La nostra specie di zanzara, Aedes Albopticus ( volgarmente zanzara tigre) risulta suscettibile al virus Zika, tasso di infezione pari al 10% e il virus ? presente nella saliva da dove pu? essere trasmesso, anche se in maniera molto meno efficace della cugina Aedes Aegypti. Il rischio di diffusione autoctona nel nord Italia ? ritenuto basso.
Viene inoltre data dimostrazione di un assente trasmissione transovarica ( dalla madre alle larve) del virus in entrambe le specie di zanzare.
