This slide represents the part of the transmission cycle
that takes place within the mosquito.
- The mosquito ingests blood containing the virus.
- The virus replicates in the mosquito midgut, the ovaries,
nerve tissue and fat body. It then escapes into the body
cavity, and later infects the salivary glands.
- The virus replicates in the salivary glands and when the
mosquito bites another human, the cycle continues.
