Most mosquitoes were aggregated around the rear of the flight section.
Also, if mosquitoes had been a major vector, the pattern of spread would have been expected to be random across the sites.
Further, the mortality risk was found to be increased by the level of parasite in a mosquito.
Workers lacked mosquito nets and even blankets to protect themselves from nights of exposure in remote corners of the forest.
They showed that gametocyte counts in the mosquitoes are, like macroparasite intakes, heterogeneous (overdispersed).
The presence of suitable containers in and around households increases the risk of oviposition and the production of immatures and adult mosquitoes.
Thus, viruses entering the tick midgut are exposed to different environmental conditions compared with those existing in, for example, the mosquito midgut.
Infected mosquitoes can also travel in ships and trains and spread the disease.
