Iridoviridae is a DNA virus family that affects both vertebrates and invertebrates. Immature aquatic stages of many dipteran species infected with iridovirus have been found in different places worldwide. The most represented genera of the Culicidae family are Aedes and Psorophora. To date, sixteen species of Aedes naturally infected with iridoviruses have been reported. Moreover, there are four records for the genus Psorophora, one for Culiseta, and two for Culex. In this paper, we report two new mosquito species as natural hosts of iridoviridae in Argentina: Aedes albifasciatus (Macquart) and Culex dolosus (Lynch Arribalzaga). We also analyzed the ability of a Cx. pipiens-Invertebrate Iridescent Virus to replicate in vivo in the larval stage of two mosquito species, Culex apicinus Philippi and Ae. aegypti (L.) using Strelkovimermis spiculatus as a vector, under laboratory conditions. Although Ae. aegypti is the most recognized mosquito vector of important arboviruses responsible for emergent diseases, Cx. apicinus and Ae. albifasciatus may also be implicated in enzootic or epizootic cycles of virus transmission, such as the St. Louis Encephalitis virus and the Western Equine Encephalomyelitis virus.

蚊子虹彩病毒：在实验室条件下使用Strelkovimermis spiculatus（Mermithidae）作为载体的自然和感染新记录

虹膜病毒科是影响脊椎动物和无脊椎动物的DNA病毒家族。在世界各地发现了许多被iridovirus感染的二足动物物种的未成熟水生阶段。葫芦科中最有代表性的属是伊蚊和假单胞菌。迄今为止，已经报道了自然感染了虹膜病毒的十六种伊蚊。此外，有四个记录属Psorophora，一个用于Culiseta，两个用于库蚊。在本文中，我们报告了两种新的蚊子作为阿根廷伊利多病毒的天然宿主：白纹伊蚊（Macquart）和库蚊（Culex dolosus）（林奇·阿里巴尔扎加）。我们还分析了Cx的能力。蚊-Invertebrate虹彩病毒体内复制以两种蚊种，幼虫期库蚊apicinus腓和阂。在实验室条件下，使用Strelkovimermis spiculatus作为载体的埃及埃及（L.）。虽然爱 埃及伊蚊是最重要的虫媒病毒，它是引起突发疾病的重要蚊媒，Cx。apicinus和Ae。白带病也可能与病毒传播的生长期或流行期有关，例如圣路易斯脑炎病毒和西部马脑脊髓炎病毒。
