Mosquitos and AIDS: The facts sale in Boardman
North Morrow Vector Control
[here has been some talk about the possibility ol whether AIDS can be
transmitted through the hue o f a mosquito Alot o f research has been put
into this area Unlonunately. some results were published helorc the studies
were complete causing an unnecessary scare
According to Dr (icorge Craig, director o f the Vector Biology Laboratory
at the University o f Notre Dame in Indiana, attributed the "ru m o r" to a
"couple of fanatics in Florida a few people making alot o f noise "
Craig, who is the president o f the American Mosquito Control Assoc la
tion and a member o f the National Academy of Sciences explained how
it is possibly for mosquitos to transmit certain viruses and nut others. Ihe
dtcephalitiea virus, for example, thrives and multiplies in the tissue o f the
mosquito and is then transmitted thmugh x.iliva when tl bites (hr the other
hand, the AIDS virus remains in the mosquitos blood, where "the quantity
goes steadily down until the blood meal is digested " This process Craig
said, can take between 48 and 72 hours, during which the mosquito docs
not egest blo»xl "There is ," he emphasized, "n o way to get it into the
mosquitos salivary gland It |uvl sits (here like a lump o f lead in the
stomach " He added that, even if the AIDS infected blood were transnussi
ble. " i t takes more viral particles than a mosquito can carry to infect a
human at least II) times ax much
Craig, who said he has been involved with research in this field for more
than '() sears, further explained that there is "n o ev idencc of trans ovarian
transmission of the AIDS v iru s ." despite the tact that the ingested blixxl
protein is used to produce eggs (Only female mosquitos hue»
" Ihe crowning evidence,” Craig stated, " is cpidemological II AIDS

monly affected, since they spend so much time playing outdoors But only
those who are in the sexually active portion of the population arc becoming
