Laboratory demonstration of the vertical transmission of Rift Valley fever virus by Culex tarsalis mosquitoes.
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-transmitted virus with proven ability to emerge into naïve geographic areas. Limited field evidence suggests that RVFV is transmitted vertically from parent mosquito to offspring, but until now this mechanism has not been confirmed in the laboratory. Furt...
