我们报告致倦库蚊和尖音库蚊的两个实验室菌落在实验上不能在感染性血餐后长达21天或胸内接种后长达14天传播ZIKV。通过在Vero细胞上进行噬斑形成单位测定，在身体、头部或唾液中检测到感染性病毒颗粒。因此，我们认为库蚊不太可能参与ZIKV的快速传播。
We report that two laboratory colonies of Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex pipiens mosquitoes were experimentally unable to transmit ZIKV either up to 21 days post an infectious blood meal or up to 14 days post intrathoracic inoculation. Infectious viral particles were detected in bodies, heads or saliva by a plaque forming unit assay on Vero cells. We therefore consider it unlikely that Culex mosquitoes are involved in the rapid spread of ZIKV.
