• An Update on the Potential of North American Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) to Transmit West Nile Virus (2005, background): “A number of recent publications have examined the potential for North American mosquitoes to transmit WNV under laboratory conditions (Turell et al. 2000, 2001, 2003; Sardelis and Turell 2001; Sardelis et al. 2001, 2002; Goddard et al. 2002).”
• Present and Future Arboviral Threats (2009, background): “North American Culex are moderately competent laboratory vectors (Goddard et al., 2002; Turell et al., 2000; Turell et al., 2001) and therefore require elevated avian viremias for effective infection (Reisen et al.”
• Invasions by insect vectors of human disease. (2002, background): “The demonstrated ability of this species to be infected by and to transmit West Nile virus (201) indicates that this combination of new pathogen and new vector could become epidemiologically significant in eastern North America.”
• A Review of the Invasive Mosquitoes in Europe: Ecology, Public Health Risks, and Control Options (2012, positive): “ZIKAV is a flavivirus related to YFV, DENV, WNV, and JEV.”
• Critical review of the vector status of Aedes albopictus (2004, background): “The authors observed that while disease transmission has not as yet been associated with Ae. albopictus in the U.S.A., evidence suggests that the species may be implicated in the ecology of West Nile virus, based on the isolation of the virus from the species in nature (Turell et al., 2001).”
• Migrating Birds as Dispersal Vehicles for West Nile Virus (2006, background): “However, viremia titers of birds infected with 10,000 pfu WNV did surpass 105/ml serum, which is sufficient to infect Culex mosquitoes throughout North America (Turell et al., 2001; Goddard et al., 2002).”
