Will mosquitoes spread the disease?

[elgenon]

Mr Google seems to be stumped on this one. Sometimes mossies spread a virus and sometimes they don't, as in HIV.

 

I am hoping they bite immune people and spread those anti-bodies. 555  ????

[Lacessit]

It's spreading just fine without help from mosquitoes or rumor-mongers.

In perspective to the current virus....dengue fever...in first 5 months of 2019....."According to the Bureau of Epidemiology, 18,000 people were infected with the dengue fever virus from January 1 to May 1 this year, and 27 of them, including 12 children, had died."......https://www.nationthailand.com/national/30369087

 

You could have shut down the country and economy, hand our mosquito repellent and stay home...just sayin'

You asked Google the wrong question.

NO.

Dogs can spread it.

But Dengue does not have the ability to infect 40,000,000 Thai, kill vast numbers, and destroy the economy. So they just let it run its course.

Of course it has.

This crisis would pale into insignificance if the mosquito species that carries the dengue virus were to adapt to temperate climates.

Global burden of dengue

The incidence of dengue has grown dramatically around the world in recent decades. The actual numbers of dengue cases are underreported and many cases are misclassified. One recent estimate indicates 390 million dengue infections per year (95% credible interval 284–528 million), of which 96 million (67–136 million) manifest clinically (with any severity of disease).¹ Another study, of the prevalence of dengue, estimates that 3.9 billion people, in 128 countries, are at risk of infection with dengue viruses.

When HIV was new, people asked if it could be transmitted by mosquitoes. A leading expert in South Africa commented that no Mosquitoes had been found with HIV (but did not say how many had been tested).

Malaria also still kills thousands per year across Asia and Africa

But is not contagious

The authorities do attmept to control mosquito breeding, it one of the primary targets of the Gates and other foundations

Wonder if that bat cave at Ratchaburi is still doing a brisk busines?

Mosquito transmission of HV did not occur as the insect does not inject blood into a person bloodstream

HIV needs to be in sufficient quantities (estimated 2ml of infected blood) into the bloodstream of a negative person. It is transmitted sexually as the mucosa of the vagina and the anus are rapid uptake modes, through microscopic tears in the anal or vaginal wall,  into the blood stream, Infected semen is the transmission mode in most sexual activity of blood if estoric practices occur. HIVC was isolated in other bodily secretion, but not in sufficient quantaties to cause infection, and althoug isolated in some secretions is often unviable.

 

Dengue is transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. When a patient suffering from dengue fever is bitten by a vector mosquito, the mosquito is infected and it may spread the disease by biting other people. Dengue is a virus

The dengue fever is not a Corona type virus. Soon you or some other poster will mention the Yellow fever and 95% of the posters will go berserk. I do hope a TV moderator will close this thread. OP's question has already been answered.

One poster mention dengue, that is why I mentioned it.

I was replying to the HIV mention initally.

I saw no mention of "kill vast numbers" in the article.

"vast" is an arbitrary concept, does dengue kill or not?

[natway09]

NO !!

Are you saying I am a rumor-monger for asking a question?

Thanks. I hope they are correct. Sounds like Google, not quite sure because this is all new.

 

I personally hope they spread the antibodies but that is a fantasy wish.

 You can't "spread" antibodies. Antibodies only work because they are synthesised in huge quantities by special immune cells in the body which themselves divide and propagate massively during an infection, producing huge amounts. Antibodies need to build up in the circulation to a very high concentration so they can stick to and neutralise viruses or bacteria which are themselves dividing and present in literally millions of copies.

 

Even if insects injected a tiny amount of blood (they don't) from a person who had had the disease and recovered,  this would be useless, since the amount of antibody would be too small to have any effect whatsoever, and antibodies cannot by themselves multiply or increase in amount.

Tigers at a US zoo have the virus so are you sure dogs cannot get it

[scubascuba3]

Some tigers in the US have got Covid-19 so be careful with your pets...

[Crossy]

Our OP has his answer, unless someone comes up with a scientific report that Covid19 can be spread by mosquitoes then this is closed.
