Strengthen the research on the infection of humans and animals by viruses isolated from blood sucking insects in China
As of early 2024,China has isolated and identified approximately 60 virus isolates that can be replicated in tissue cell culture from various blood sucking insect specimens collected in nature.Among them,about 40,10,10,and 2 viruses have been isolated and identified from mosquito,tick,midge,and sandfly specimens,respectively.This shows that China's research on arbovirus etiology has made great achievements.However,the infectivity of most of these viruses to humans and animals,their relationship with human and animal diseases are still unclear.On the basis of introducing the current research status of the arbovirus etiology in China,this article puts forward opinions and suggestions on strengthening the research on the relationship between viruses isolated from blood sucking insects and human and animal infections,in order to promote the study of the relationship between arboviruses and arbovirus diseases in China.
