Many rumors about novel Coronavirus health are circulating in this anxious world.
One concern is that mosquitoes could feed on an infected person and then transmit the virus to another person.
Not to worry, according to a new study by researchers at Kansas State University.

Who has declared that novel Coronavirus will not spread from mosquito bites.
Who even included this information in its “Rumor Killer” page on COVID-19, stating that “to date there is no information or evidence that novel Coronavirus may be transmitted by mosquitoes.”

“Although the WHO has made it clear that mosquitoes do not transmit the virus, our study provides the first hard data to support this theory,” said Stephen Higgs of Kansas State University.

The researchers studied three common mosquito species that are widely distributed.
“We demonstrate that the SARS-COV-2 virus cannot replicate in these mosquitoes even under extreme conditions, and therefore cannot be transmitted to humans even in the unlikely event that mosquitoes feed on the virus host,” the study said.

The study was conducted at the Biosafety Research Institute in Kansas, a highly secure laboratory facility for infectious disease research.
