Confirmation is provided of previously reported experimental transmission of yellow fever virus by the bites of Sabethes chloropterus. This mosquito is a relatively inefficient vector, however, and requires a suitable virus strain, a high titer of virus in the infective meal, a prolonged extrinsic incubation period and a highly susceptible host, to be successful.
* This investigation was supported in part by the Research and Development Division, Office of the Surgeon General, Department of the Army, under Contract No. DA-49-007-MD-655.
