Has anyone ever think of how mosquitoes transfer malaria from one person to another but they can't transfer HIV/AIDS and both of the sickness deals with the blood...... |

Google can answer that for you. Any way the abdominal cavity of mosquito dont allow for survival of the virus. Thank God they dont spread the virus. |

once in the human system HIV resides in the T cells (these cells actually play a vital role in the survival and replication of the HIV virus). however, these cells are absent in mosquitoes and the virus are digested and inactivated by enzymes in the mosquitoes' guts.... simply put; HIV virus gets into the mosquitoes alive but comes out death. |

He who ask needs an answer if you got none shut the Bleep up.The proboscis when it penetrates the skin an enzyme is released that prevents HIV/AIDS from been transmitted from one carrier to the other(just like a sterilizer) if this enzyme can be Isolated for study and research work are carried out, this could be the solution to the menace of the Spread of HIV/AIDS...

Some NLers can very irritating. Someone asked a question, which, being a crucial question, he has every right to, so why all the noise from these trolls? Are you aware some of those Google searches redirects to NL? smh ANYWAY, to OP's question, yes at a time it was thought mosquitoes can indeed transmit the virus, and was even alleged to be responsible for the explosion in the prevalence in the early 1990s. The claim has however been laid to rest in the view of compelling evidence: 1. Perhaps the most crucial: Mosquitoes do not inject blood; they only inject their saliva into the skin which prevents the blood from clotting while it is being sucked. 2.The tubes the mosquito uses to inject the saliva and the one used to suck the blood are separate and distinct. So even if the blood is infected, it wouldn't mix with the saliva (which the mosquito injects into the human): 3. Once the virus gets into the mosquito's body, it is rapidly inactivated by its digestive juices, so even if you kill a mosquito on your skin and you notice blood, the chances that that blood contains the virus is very slim. 4. Once a mosquito bites someone and draws blood successfully, it doesn't move over to a next person. It usually looks for somewhere dark and quiet where it can digest the blood. 4. Like others have noted, the mosquito lacks the cells needed for multiplication of the virus. so it cannot survive or reproduce in the mosquito. NOTE: Malaria and other similar parasites are transmitted by mosquitoes because they can survive and multiply in them, and are present in the saliva of the mosquito. 2 Likes 1 Share |
