Does anyone have any definitive data on whether mosquitos can spread SARS-CoV-2 (Covid19) Coronavirus?
Seems like probably. We should be able to tell whether or not it can get in blood. @nanogenomic anything on this yet? Ty ty!



think from first principles, not how you want it to be. it attacks the immune system (t cells, right?) and vasculature, as well as causing mucus in the lungs it causes clotting problems, therefore it’s surely in the blood. the question is how transmissable is it? maybe not very?

Sure, best I can tell from first principles it's definitely transmissible. But I am not sure what factors affect the likelihood here -- biological, behavioral on the part of mosquitoes, what else?

wow, great question, but i think they are mainly heat and co2 seeking. maybe this can be used to control the populations
