Transovarial transmission of LaCrosse virus (California encephalitis group) in the mosquito, Aedes triseriatus.

LaCrosse virus (California encephalitis group) was recovered from F(1) eggs, larvae, and adults produced by experimentally infected Aedes triseriatus. The F(1) females transmitted the virus by bite to suckling mice and chipmunks. This, plus isolations of LaCrosse virus from larvae collected from their natural habitats in enzootic areas and from males and females reared from them, suggests that transovarial transmission is the overwintering mechanism for this arbovirus in northern United States.

Serologic evidence of bunyamwera group arbovirus infections in Wisconsin and texas deer.

Sera of 81 white-tailed deer from south Texas and 283 white-tailed deer from Wisconsin were tested for neutralizing and hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies to arboviruses of the Bunyamwera group. Neutralizing antibodies were detected in 100% of the Texas deer sera and hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies were detected in 61% of those sera collected in 1969 and 78% of those sera collected in 1963. The prevalence of both neutralizing and hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies in Wisconsin deer sera varied from 72-100% and 42-79% respectively depending on the geographic area tested in the years 1963 and 1969.
