Detailed Analyses of Zika Virus Tropism in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Culex quinquefasciatus</named-content> Reveal Systemic Refractoriness by Hannah J. MacLeod, George Dimopoulos

“…ABSTRACT The role of Culex quinquefasciatus in Zika virus transmission has been debated since the epidemic of Zika occurred in the Americas in 2015 to 2016. The majority of studies have found no evidence that C. quinquefasciatus or other Culex species are competent vectors of Zika virus, and the few studies that have proposed Zika vector status for C. quinquefasciatus have relied predominantly on quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) for viral detection. …”
