It is seriously something that should be checked out cause a lot of people get bit.They can pass malaria,why not something else?

See what I'm sayin? It would be rediculous to assume that if something sticks a stinger in say...me....then goes to say...my brother whos standing next to me immediately after biting me, that it WOULDNt pass it. Maybe they dont carry it but I've yet to see a test that proves they cant PASS it. Know what i mean? its just common sense. Conniegail <gaila@...> wrote:

Existence of Hepatitis C Virus in Culex quinquefasciatus after Ingestion of Infected Blood: Experimental Approach to Evaluating Transmission by Mosquitoes

ABSTRACT

We used PCR to detect hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA among supernatants of ground Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes that (i) had been fed HCV-positive blood, (ii) had been intrathoracically inoculated with HCV-positive blood, or (iii) were from homes of hepatitis C patients. HCV RNA was detectable under all three conditions, but it did not replicate in mosquitoes and was not detectably transmitted during feeding.
