- Cache Valley Virus in Aedes japonicus japonicus Mosquitoes, Appalachian Region, United StatesYang, Fan; Chan, Kevin K.; Marek, Paul E.; Armstrong, Philip M.; Liu, Pengcheng; Bova, Jacob E.; Bernick, Joshua N.; McMillan, Benjamin E.; Weidlich, Benjamin G.; Paulson, Sally L. (2018-03)We detected Cache Valley virus in Aedes japonicus, a widely distributed invasive mosquito species, in an Appalachian forest in the United States. The forest contained abundant white-tailed deer, a major host of the mosquito and virus. Vector competence trials indicated that Ae. j. japonicus mosquitoes can transmit this virus in this region.
