Article Synopsis
- Avian pox is a contagious disease affecting poultry, and this study focuses on how Culex mosquitoes spread the virus in Rio de Janeiro.
- Researchers tested 400 Culex mosquitoes, finding that 12.23% were positive for Avipoxvirus (APV) DNA, closely matching Fowlpoxvirus sequences from various countries.
- This study is the first to detect APVs in field-caught mosquitoes, highlighting the need for control measures to prevent APV transmission in areas with backyard poultry.
