“…Deane et al (1969Deane et al ( , 1971) discuss about the importance of this behavior in the transmission of simian malaria. On the other hand, those monkeys are also frequently bitten by Sabethini, which are mosquitoes with a diurnal acrodendrophilic behavior and related to the cycle of jungle yellow fever (Galindo et al 1966). Small rodents and marsupials are, by their turns, active during the night period and so serve as better hosts for diurnal mosquitoes, in all parts of the forest.…”

In 1993, an outbreak of encephalitis among 125 affected equids in coastal Chiapas, Mexico, resulted in a 50% case-fatality rate. The outbreak was attributed to Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) subtype IE, not previously associated with equine disease and death. To better understand the ecology of this VEEV strain in Chiapas, we experimentally infected 5 species of wild rodents and evaluated their competence as reservoir and amplifying hosts. Rodents from 1 species (Baiomys musculus) showed signs of disease and died by day 8 postinoculation. Rodents from the 4 other species (Liomys salvini, Oligoryzomys fulvescens, Oryzomys couesi, and Sigmodon hispidus) became viremic but survived and developed neutralizing antibodies, indicating that multiple species may contribute to VEEV maintenance. By infecting numerous rodent species and producing adequate viremia, VEEV may increase its chances of long-term persistence in nature and could increase risk for establishment in disease-endemic areas and amplifi cation outside the disease-endemic range.

“…Since it was first identified from the blood of five febrile cases in Trinidad in 1954, 1 MAYV has been isolated or its presence has been implicated by antibody surveys in countries throughout tropical South America and into Central America and the Caribbean. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] MAYV causes a self-limited illness characterized by fever, rash, and severe arthralgia, which is similar to chikungunya virus and other members of the Semliki Forest antigenic complex. 10 Outbreaks of Mayaro fever recognized to date have been small and associated with rural communities, 1,11,12 likely reflecting spillover infections from a sylvatic (enzootic) transmission cycle of MAYV.…”

Abstract. Outbreaks of Mayaro fever have been associated with a sylvatic cycle of Mayaro virus (MAYV) transmission in South America. To evaluate the potential for a common urban mosquito to transmit MAYV, laboratory vector competence studies were performed with Aedes aegypti from Iquitos, Peru. Oral infection in Ae. aegypti ranged from 0% (0/31) to 84% (31/37), with blood meal virus titers between 3.4 log 10 and 7.3 log 10 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL. Transmission of MAYV by 70% (21/30) of infected mosquitoes was shown by saliva collection and exposure to suckling mice. Amount of viral RNA in febrile humans, determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction, ranged from 2.7 to 5.3 log 10 PFU equivalents/mL. Oral susceptibility of Ae. aegypti to MAYV at titers encountered in viremic humans may limit opportunities to initiate an urban cycle; however, transmission of MAYV by Ae. aegypti shows the vector competence of this species and suggests potential for urban transmission.
