概括
奇孔古尼亚病毒 (CHIKV) 和寨卡病毒 (ZIKV) 的垂直传播在埃及蚊子 (Aedes aegypti) 中得到证实. 受感染的雌性后代可以分泌传染性病毒,有助于 arbovirus 的传播.
科学领域:
- 医学昆虫学 医学昆虫学
- 亚博病毒学 亚博病毒学
- 载体传播疾病 载体传播疾病
背景情况:
- 艾迪斯埃及蚊子将登革热 (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV) 和寨卡病毒 (ZIKV) 的病毒水平传播给人类.
- 垂直传播,从受感染的母亲传播给后代,是另一种可能的树冠病毒传播途径.
研究的目的:
- 评估DENV,CHIKV和ZIKV的垂直传播率在野外衍生的Aedes aegypti种群中.
- 为了确定母性感染的雌性蚊子是否会在唾液中分泌传染性病毒,从而使后续的人类传播成为可能.
主要方法:
- 一个来自野外的Aedes aegypti种群被用来评估DENV,CHIKV和ZIKV的垂直传播.
- 在雌性后代的唾液和头部中分析了传染性病毒的存在.
- 组合的男性后代进行了病毒存在的测试.
主要成果:
- 感染性CHIKV和ZIKV分别在15%和11%的雌性后代的唾液中检测到.
- 14%的雌性后代在头部有传染性DENV-1,尽管唾液测试结果为阴性.
- 组合的男性后代对CHIKV和ZIKV呈阳性.
结论:
- 垂直传播是一种被低估的机制,使得Aedes aegypti在没有咬伤病毒宿主的情况下变得具有感染力.
- 这种垂直路线有助于树冠病毒的持久性和传播.
- 受感染的男性后代表明,垂直传播的病毒可以在蚊子群体中持续存在,即使在非血液养的个体中也是如此.

Symbiosis
37.8K
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Infection
13.1K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...
