National Institute for Virology and Department of Virology, University of the Witwatersrand, Sandringham, South Africa
Ann N Y Acad Sci 951:143-52. 2001..3-100%. This suggests that the viral enzooticity does not depend on annual importation of virus in migrant birds...
Comparison of three methods for determining transmission rates in vector competence studies with Culex univittatus and West Nile and Sindbis virusesA J Cornel
Department of Virology, University of the Witwatersrand, National Institute for Virology, Sandringham, South Africa
J Am Mosq Control Assoc 5:70-2. 1989..It was concluded that capillary feeding is an acceptable alternative to feeding on hamsters for determining transmission rates for Cx. univittatus with West Nile and Sindbis viruses...
Experimental assessment of bedbugs (Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus) and mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti formosus) as vectors of human immunodeficiency virusP G Jupp
Department of Virology, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
AIDS 1:171-4. 1987..It is concluded that Ae. aegypti formosus and probably other mosquitoes are not mechanical vectors of HIV and that such transmission is also unlikely to occur in bedbugs under natural conditions...
Aedes furcifer and other mosquitoes as vectors of chikungunya virus at Mica, northeastern Transvaal, South AfricaP G Jupp
Arbovirus Unit, National Institute for Virology, Sandringham, South Africa
J Am Mosq Control Assoc 6:415-20. 1990..It is concluded that Ae. furcifer is an epidemic-epizootic vector which does not maintain the virus at Mica and that no other mosquito species could have been important vectors...
