Vector competence of Ochlerotatus trivittatus (Coquillett), Aedes albopictus (Skuse), and Culex pipiens (L) (Diptera: Culicidae) for West Nile virus
… species of mosquitoes are the primary amplifying vectors. Many species of mammals are also susceptible to WNV but develop viremias that seldom exceed 105.0 CID50s/ml. Mammals may play a significant role in WNV ecology if mosquitoes that feed on them during periods of viremia can be infected and …

Infection and transmission of West Nile virus by Ochlerotatus triseriatus (Diptera: Culicidae) in the laboratory
… that feed on both birds and mammals are known as bridge vectors, which transmit WNV from avian amplification hosts to other vertebrates susceptible to WNV infection. These secondary hosts do not develop viremias high enough to continue the infection cycle, and are known as dead end hosts. The …

The ecology of the mosquito Culex modestus, a potential vector of West Nile virus in the UK
… health interest due to its importance as a bridge vector of WNV from the amplifying host, birds, into humans and equines. Currently little is known about Cx modestus habitat preferences and population dynamics. Larval sampling was conducted in the North Kent marshes between June and November …

Blood-Feeding Patterns of Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus Bridge Vectors at Viral Foci in Southeast Georgia
… abundance and feeding behavior of potential bridge vectors collected from locations associated with documented cases of EEEV in Southeastern Georgia, USA. Over the course of two years, over 7000 mosquitoes were collected from daytime resting sites within a 1-mile radius of confirmed equine …
