Support Ethical Zika Researchers by RoseWrites T-Shirt

Culex are also Zika vectors in some regions of the world. And they are nighttime-active. It's crucial that vector surveillance includes testing the Culex species of mosquitoes and the Pycnonotidae (bulbul) family of birds. Dr. Hunter told me: "I have confidence that Ayres in Brazil and Guo in China were able to get transmission in Culex quinquefasciatus. I think that species probably does play a role elsewhere in the world." The latest: THREE species of wild-caught CULEX in Mexico are ZIKA vectors. N.B: mid-western and northern U.S. and Canada is at higher risk for Zika (as I feared).
