A new study by scientists at Kansas State University in the United States has confirmed that coronavirus is not
The research has been conducted since March. This is the first peer-reviewed publication to support the findings of the World Health Association (WHO), which also rejected insect-assisted transmission.
"While the World OrganizationHealth officials have definitively stated that mosquitoes cannot transmit the virus, our study is the first to provide evidence for this theory. We have demonstrated that even under extreme conditions, SARS-CoV-2 cannot self-replicate in these mosquitoes and thus cannot be transmitted to humans even in the unlikely event that a mosquito (first) bites a virus carrier.”

Formerly scientists from the National InstituteItalian health officials also said the coronavirus cannot be transmitted by mosquitoes. They infected mosquitoes with COVID-19, and then tested whether the virus is capable of further reproduction. It turned out that it is impossible to transmit the virus through insects.
At the Research InstituteBiosafety research continues on other animal pathogens that can be transmitted to humans. Scientists primarily study Rift Valley fever and Japanese encephalitis.
