为评估乌苏图病毒（USUV）进入北美的潜在风险，研究人员针对北美重要的西尼罗河病毒（WNV）媒介——Culex tarsalis和Culex pipiens蚊子，开展了详细的媒介能力研究。结果证实，北美Cx. pipiens是USUV的合格传播媒介，其传播率在21天内可增至33%，但需要较高的病毒感染剂量。该研究揭示了USUV在美国的潜在传播风险，并为相关预警和防控策略提供了关键科学依据。 一种名 ...

Culex tarsalis 是北美西尼罗病毒（WNV）的重要传播媒介，本研究通过sRNA测序技术分析其病毒组，发现7种 insect-specific viruses (ISVs)，其中Marma病毒和Culex narnavirus 1在5个州的17个采样点中普遍存在。尽管样本采集条件不理想（RIN值较低、运输延迟），但sRNA-seq仍能可靠 ...
