摘要
Ingwavuma virus (INGV), a mosquito-borne arbovirus reported from Africa and Southeast Asia has been found circulating in India as evidenced by virus isolation and antibody prevalence. INGV is now classified as Manzanilla orthobunyavirus belonging to family Peribunyaviridae. The virus is maintained in nature in a pig-mosquito-bird cycle. Human infection has been confirmed by virus isolation and detection of neutralizing antibodies. A study was initiated to determine the vector competence of Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Cx tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes to INGV due to their high prevalence in India. Mosquitoes were oral fed on viraemic mice and INGV dissemination to legs, wings, salivary glands (saliva) was studied alongwith virus growth kinetics. The three mosquitoes replicated INGV with maximum titers of 3.7, 3.7 and 4.7log10TCID50/ml respectively and maintained the virus till 16th day post infection. However, vector competence and horizontal transmission to infant mouse was demonstrated only by Cx quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. Vertical or trans-ovarial transmission of INGV could not be demonstrated in the mosquito during the study. Though no major outbreak involving humans has been reported yet, the potential of the virus to replicate in different species of mosquitoes and vertebrates including humans pose a threat to public health should there be a change in its genome. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Indian Virological Society.
