Mosquitoes Don t spread aids expert says Washington Ytje a study by scientists collaborating with the National cancer Institute has found that mosquitoes can retain the aids virus in their bodies for two or three Days after ingest ing infected blood but the most eminent scientist associated with the study. Or. Robert c. Gallo of the cancer Institute one of the nation s leading aids researches said the study produced no evidence that the virus can multiply inside mosquitoes or that mosquitoes Are capable of transmit Ting the virus once it is in their bodies. And the Federal centers for disease control in Atlanta reiterated that a Range of epidemiology is studies has found no evidence thai aids cases have been caused by mosquitoes. Even in areas where mosquitoes Are prevalent a spokesman for the centers said tuesday the aids virus docs not infect children who Are surely bitten by the same mosquitoes that bite the sexually Active an drug addicted populations. Scientists say acquired immune deficiency syndrome is transmitted mainly through sexual activity or through Shar ing a Needle used to inject drugs. The Mosquito Siudy which was first reported by the Atlanta Constitution tuesday is designed to explore the hypothesis that insects might be involved in transmitting the virus said or. Jai Nayar an insect specialist. Nayar of the medical entomology Laboratory in Vero Beach fla., said mosquitoes from colonies in Florida were fed blood infected with the aids virus tests then were performed to see if the virus remained in the Mosquito and could be passed on by the mosquitoes to uninfected blood preliminary results indicate he said that the Sims can slay in a Mosquito for two or three Days once the Mosquito feeds on whether it can stay eve longer is still understudy he said. But Nayar said there was very Little indication so far thai the mosquitoes would pass on tie aids virus to a Sam ple of uninfected blood while feeding on thai Sample although such experiments Are not Complete. Gallo was More emphatic saying the study had so far found no evidence that mosquitoes passed the virus on to uninfected blood from which they cat. Mayer said the new Siudy had essentially confirmed findings by French scientists that insects in Africa arc Able to transport the virus in their bodies.

Gallo who said his Laboratory was loosely involved in guiding the study said he interpreted the results so far As undercutting the hypothesis that mosquitoes might be involved in transmitting the aids virus. He said it was no sur prise to find that mosquitoes that Are fed virus infected blood ingest the virus into their own bodies. The important finding Gallo said is that there is no evidence the virus Multi plies inside the Mosquito. Such multiplication would infect the Mosquito with Large volumes of virus for Long periods of time another Lap scientist said. He said Roberts Hedges be Surrec on claim Tulsa okla.
