Some 15% of the saltmarsh mosquito, A. (Ochlerotatus) vigilax (Skuse) mechanically transmitted the T48 strain of Ross River virus from viremic donors to uninfected recipient suckling mice. The population tested from near Brisbane [Australia] was moderately susceptible to infection (median infective dose = 104.5.+-.0.1 suckling mouse LD50/mosquito) when fed virus diluted in blood on a cotton pledget. Rapid proliferation of the virus in the mosquito allowed transmission from 4 days after ingestion with maximum transmission of 50-57% occurring from 10 days. From assay of A. vigilax ovaries and of progeny reared from parentally-infected females, preliminary data suggest transovarial transmission as a potential survival method for this virus.
