Aedes aegypti fed on viremic baby mice yielded 1.6-3.8 LD50 of virus when tested immediately after engorgement but failed to demonstrate virus when tested at 21 days pi; likewise no virus was transmitted by bite at 21 days. Adult ticks (Dermacentor variabilis), inoculated with virus, were positive and transmitted virus to baby mice by bite when tested at 10 and 21 days pi (2 ticks) (4).
