Introduction: Cacipacore virus (CPCV), a possible bird-associated flavivirus, has yet to be detected in mosquitoes. Our purpose is examining CPCV in mosquitoes from the Amazon region of Brazil. Methods: Approximately 3,253 Culicidae (grouped into 264 pools) were collected from the Amazon region during 2002-2006 and analyzed using a Flavivirus genus-specific reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction followed by nested polymerase chain reaction assay and by nucleotide sequencing of amplicons. Results: Nucleotide sequences from five mosquito samples showed high similarity to the those of CPCV originally isolated in the Amazon region. Conclusions: This is the first report of CPCV-infected mosquitoes which has implications on the arbovirus maintenance in nature and transmission to man. (AU) | |
