    Journal: Indian J Med Res; 1990 Sep; 91():331-3. PubMed ID: 2269503.
    Abstract:
    A strain of Japanese encephalitis virus was isolated from a pool of 54 female C. pseudovishnui Colless, 1957. The mosquitoes were collected in August 1988 during the period of epidemic of JE. This is the first report of isolation of JE virus from mosquitoes in Goa in the western coastal belt of peninsular India. In view of this isolation, C. pseudovishnui acquires greater importance, even though its density and relative prevalence during the current study was found to be far lower than C. tritaeniorhynchus.
