West Nile Virus Isolation in Human and Mosquitoes, Mexico

Abstract: West Nile virus has been isolated for the first time in Mexico, from a sick person and from mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus). Partial sequencing and analysis of the 2 isolates indicate that they are genetically similar to other recent isolates from northern Mexico and the western United States.

“…Despite the fact that the Mexico-USA border is 3,169 km long, it is surprising that only 11 human cases of West Nile virus have been registered in Mexico through 2012(CONAVE 2012. Nevertheless, the zoonotic factors involved in West Nile virus ecology, e.g., birds, equines, and mosquitoes, have been found mostly along the northern states and along the Gulf of Mexico (Fernandez-Salas et al 2003;Blitvich et al 2003a,b;Elizondo et al 2005;Ibarra-Juarez et al 2012).…”

“…7,8,16,17,19 Similarly, several isolates were derived from various species of Culex mosquitoes in tropical America, but except for Puerto Rico, 5 insufficient data were available to incriminate them as WNV vectors. [20][21][22] To determine vectors and amplifying hosts, it is necessary to study WNV ecology within a transmission focus. No such studies have been reported from Central America.…”
