Article Synopsis
- Experiments showed that male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can infect female mosquitoes with chikungunya virus (CHIKV) during mating.
- An 11% infection rate was found in virgin female mosquitoes cohabiting with infected males.
- The infected females were capable of transmitting the virus to mice, confirming the virus's ability to spread and potentially initiate a new infection cycle.
