Serum from Mexican grey squirrels (Sciurus aureogaster) Mexico City reacted to Orthopoxvirus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Real-time PCR based on oral swabs and scabs did not detect viral DNA. Antibody prevalence was 30% (n=366), providing the first evidence of antibodies in wild rodents.
The distribution of orthopoxviruses (OPXVs) across the North American continent is suggested to be widespread in a wide range mammalian hosts on basis serosurveillance studies. To address question whether carnivores northwestern Mexico are exposed naturally circulating OPXVs, wild were collected by live trapping within four different habitat types during fall 2013 and spring 2014 Janos Biosphere Reserve Chihuahua, Mexico. A total 51 blood samples was for testing. Anti-OPXV immunoglobulin G...
ABSTRACT Updating the mosquito fauna occurring in a specific area is crucial, given that certain species serve as vectors capable of transmitting zoonotic arboviruses. This scientific note presents first records mosquitoes tribe Orthopodomyiini Yucatan Peninsula. Immature were collected on 2 occasions inside large tree hole Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Thirteen adult specimens, reared from immatures, obtained and identified Orthopodomyia kummi based external characteristics...
