System
Culex univittatus readily become infected and transmit by bite. Ornithodoros savignyi ticks infected by parenteral inoculation will infect by bite but complete cyclic transmission by this tick and Argas persicus was not achieved. Ae aegypti and Anopheles albimanus will also transmit by bite (24), and virus is expelled from anus by infected Ae aegypti (25).
Sindbis appears to be essentially a bird virus transmitted mainly by Culex mosquitoes, but man and other mammals may become tangentially infected.
