Abstract

Summary Experimental St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) virus infection and transmission studies with Culex nigripalpus revealed that all became infected and nearly 100 percent transmitted. These findings, together with the virus isolations from field-collected individuals in an epidemic area, establish this species as a proven vector of SLE. It was found to be relatively refractory to infection with eastern and western encephalitis viruses.
