We characterized natural vertical transmission of Zika virus in pools of Aedes aegypti larvae hatched from eggs collected in Jojutla, Morelos, Mexico. Several studies carried out under laboratory conditions have demonstrated that Zika virus can infect many different Aedes mosquito species (3) ; still, the key species for the transmission of Zika virus to humans are Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus (4) (5) (6) . In this study, we sought to demonstrate natural vertical transmission in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes by detecting viral RNA and isolating infectious Zika virus from larvae hatched from field-collected eggs. In this work, we were also able to demonstrate the natural vertical transmission of Zika virus in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes by the successful isolation of infectious Zika virus (31N) from larvae raised from field-collected eggs. ./cache/cord-003792-v48xeqdz.txt ./txt/cord-003792-v48xeqdz.txt
