I just smashed a mosquito in my living room ... the first of the year!

Do you understand where I'm coming from?

Insects wake up after their winter break ... there is a nasty virus in nature ... and insects that do not want us good ...

Can the virus find a super anti-human vector via our insect friends ???

Rock'n Roll !! : Cheesy:

If yes we are bad guys ... : Shock: : Shock: : Shock:

What are you doing to us to decline the corona in all possible facets? It's going to be worse than the "Martine" series!
When will you see "covid19 at the beach"? :P

It is necessary to delve into the archives, this problem was raised 35 years ago with AIDS.

The mosquito cannot transmit AIDS, or the risk is infinitesimal. Otherwise, humanity would have disappeared long ago.

I remember an article in "Science & Vie" entitled "Can the mosquito transmit AIDS"

The magazine may still be in the attic. I did not throw everything away.

Looking back now, it seems that the mosquito cannot transmit viruses.

Certainly...

AIDS is not transmitted by touch ... the Covid19 yes ...

These are my fears: could flies be a vector of covid? A few hours...

Better to be too paranoid right?

I am almost convinced that this question would stick ALL the PAF specialists ...

It remains to be seen whether we could eradicate HIV with an extract of the mosquito's stomach, since it is destroyed by the latter! A track?

Coronavirus, the mosquito does not transmit it!

As Europe prepares for an imminent coronavirus epidemic, a question sometimes sprouts in the cantonade: can mosquitoes transmit this new virus, officially named SARS-CoV2? The response from EID-Med entomologists, experts from EMCA and WHO is unanimous: no!

What about flies? Just by contacts?
