Overwintering Mechanisms of Mosquito-Borne Arboviruses in Temperate Climates

Leon Rosen
Arbovirus Program, Pacific Biomedical Research Center, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822

It can be concluded from the data cited that transovarial transmission is a plausible explanation for the overwintering of mosquito-borne bunyaviruses of the California serogroup. Vertical transmission of mosquito-borne flaviviruses could explain the overwintering of this group of viruses, but this is far from having been established. At present, the mechanism by which mosquito-borne alphaviruses pass the winter is obscure.
