Description:
Two strains of St. Louis encephalitis virus were isolated from overwintering mosquitoes collected in Maryland and Pennsylvania during January and February 1977. There isolations from Culex pipiens constitute evidence that a mosquito-borne flavivirus can persist in a vector mosquito in temperate climates during the winter season.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bailey, C L -- Eldridge, B F -- Hayes, D E -- Watts, D M -- Tammariello, R F -- Dalrymple, J M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Mar 24;199(4335):1346-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/628843" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
