TI  - Assessing natural infection with Zika virus in the southern house mosquito, Culex 
      quinquefasciatus, during 2016 in Puerto Rico.

AB  - The epidemic of Zika in the Western hemisphere has led to intense investigations 
      of all species important in the transmission of Zika virus (ZikV), including 
      putative mosquito vectors. Although evidence points to Stegomyia (= Aedes) 
      (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes as the primary vectors in nature among humans, 
      there remains the possibility that other common mosquito species may be 
      implicated in the rapid spread of the virus. Herein, field-caught Culex 
      quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) collected during June 2016 in different 
      neighbourhoods in San Juan, Puerto Rico were examined for the presence of natural 
      infection with ZikV. Stegomyia aegypti (= Aedes aegypti) from the same locations 
      were also analysed. None of the Cx. quinquefasciatus tested showed natural 
      infection for ZikV, whereas S. aegypti tested positive at seven sites. The 
      present results suggest that Cx. quinquefasciatus was not involved in the 
      transmission of ZikV in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2016.
