能够既感染人类又感染蚊虫的人类病毒相对较少。盖丽洛特说:“绝大多数人类病毒(比如流感、艾滋病和疱疹)很长很长的时间以来一直在感染人类,尽管其中的许多病毒最终都进入了人类的血液,但仍无法感染蚊虫。反之,许多蚊虫病毒也无法感染人类或其他任何哺乳动物。目前已知的冠状病毒还没有能够感染蚊子的。”
Viruses that can be spread to humans by mosquitoes include West Nile virus, the virus that causes dengue fever, and chikungunya virus, which all circulate in the blood of infected people. “West Nile virus is able to infect a mosquito to the point where the virus load is abundant in the salivary glands,” Melissa Doyle, scientific program manager at the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (SGVMVCD), tells Health. “When the mosquito bites a person, the virus is able to travel from the salivary glands into the human body.”
能够通过蚊子传播给人类的病毒包括引发登革热的西尼罗河病毒和基孔肯亚病毒,这些病毒都在感染者的血液中循环。圣盖博山谷蚊及病媒控制区的科学项目经理梅丽莎·道尔告诉健康网说:“西尼罗河病毒能够感染蚊子,并在蚊子的唾液腺里大量聚积。当蚊子叮咬人时,病毒能通过唾液腺传播给人体。”
So it’s pretty clear that COVID-19 is the last thing you should be worrying about if a mosquito has been feasting on your leg. Keep swatting them away, though. “Due to the heavy focus on COVID-19, many people may forget that disease threats may already be buzzing right outside their window.” SGVMVCD Public Information Officer Levy Sun tells Health.
