Experimental study of the reproduction of Karshi virus (Togaviridae, flavivirus) in some species of mosquitoes and ticks

N V Khutoretskaya et al. Acta Virol. 1985 May.

Abstract

The strain Kaz-816 of Karshi virus was isolated in 1976 from H. asiaticum ticks collected in the North of Central Asia (Alma-Ata region of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic). Both ticks and mosquitoes can be vectors of Karshi virus as proved experimentally by reproduction of the virus in Hyalomma asiaticum and Dermacentor daghestanicus ticks and Culex pipiens molestus, Anopheles atroparvus an Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as well as by transmission to newborn mice by the bite of infected mosquitoes.
