A new scientific study conducted by the Italian National Institute of Health ISS shows that mosquitoes are not able to transmit coronavirus to humans.. This was announced by the Institute on Thursday June 25.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has already stated that there is no evidence that coronavirus could be transmitted by blood-sucking insects that spread dengue fever and other diseases when they bite people.

A recent study, in collaboration with IZSVe, an animal and food safety research organization, showed that neither a tiger mosquito nor a regular mosquito can transmit SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

“The study showed that the virus that was once transmitted to a mosquito through food from infected blood could not reproduce,” the ISS statement said excluding the transmission of COVID-19 through mosquito bites..

In addition to the theory of transmission of coronavirus through mosquitoes, there was a theory of the transmission of the virus from animals to humans. It is confirmed, but the mechanism of transmission of infection from animals (mammals) to humans, and vice versa from humans to animals, is still not clear.. In addition, cases of such transmission are extremely rare..
