Department Name: UNLISTED
Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
Zika virus (ZIKV) is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, primarily Ae. aegypti, a significant
virus vector in tropical regions worldwide. The highly invasive species, Ae. albopictus, can be
infected with ZIKV and may be an important vector too, especially as it occurs in temperate
regions, including mainland Europe, and threatens the UK. Mosquito species native to UK and
Europe, such as the human biting Aedes detritus and Ae. vexans, can support other
flaviviruses and may present an as yet unknown risk from ZIKV.
UoL/LSTM hold the UK’s first infection system for high-containment viruses in live
mosquitoes. Our main goal is to establish the first such system for ZIKV, and use it to answer
key questions regarding the vector competences of Ae aegypti and Ae albopictus, the
environmental temperature threshold required for transmission, and the risk presented by
indigenous UK or European Aedes mosquitoes, including Ae. detritus and Ae vexans. Such
data are essential to determine the risk of transmission of ZIKV in temperate zones of
western Europe and elsewhere.
The project has four complementary objectives:
1. Establish the UK’s first Zika virus – mosquito infection system
2. Compare vector competence of field-derived Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus.
3. Quantify the effect of temperature on the extrinsic incubation period of ZIKV in Ae. aegypti
and Ae. albopictus and determine temperature thresholds for transmission.
4. Assess the vector competence of UK and European mosquitoes for ZIKV.

Two members of Leal team (J. Boenecke and K. West) visited C. Caminade and M. Baylis in Liverpool on the 25-26 Oct 2017 to discuss their project, present preliminary results and discuss potential collaborations. C. Caminade was invited in Hamburg on the 4-5 Dec 2018 to meet all project partners (University of Fiji and HAW) and present his work on Zika (Caminade et al., PNAS 2017). HAW and Fiji partners are actually collecting zika samples in about 2000 patients and weather station data for the Fiji. Caminade agreed to run his R0 risk model based on weather station data for the Fiji (work in progress). |
