West Nile virus?
Not all species of mosquito are effective vectors for West Nile virus. Although any species of mosquito that feeds on an infected bird can acquire the virus, not all can transmit it. Mosquitoes are selective with the animals they feed on. Some feed only on birds, some only on reptiles, some on mammals, and some are opportunistic and will feed on nearly anything. There are many species that don't feed on humans and therefore won't transmit the virus. Howeverthey can act as bridge vectors and keep the virus prevalent in the bird population. The primary vector of West Nile virus in the United States is the Northern House Mosquito (Culex pipiens). However other species including Cx. restuans, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Oc. j. japonicus, Cx. salinarius, as well as others can also carry the virus.
