Abstract
Culicoides biting midges and Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) mosquitoes were induced to salivate by the topical application of pilocarpine, neostigmine, malathion and dimethoate; of these, malathion was the most effective. Drops of saliva produced by virus-infected midges and mosquitoes were shown to contain virus. The method could be used to demonstrate transmission in insects infected with a variety of pathogens.Entities:
