Abstract

We report a study on vector competence of an Italian population of for Zika virus (ZIKV). was susceptible to ZIKV infection (infection rate: 10%), and the virus could disseminate and was secreted in the mosquito’s saliva (dissemination rate: 29%; transmission rate: 29%) after an extrinsic incubation period of 11 days. The observed vector competence was lower than that of an colony tested in parallel.
