Can we take advantage of HIV not replicating in mosquitoes?
« on: 21/04/2009 00:30:02 »
Graeme Gillon asked the Naked Scientists:
   
If HIV does not replicate in the mosquito, is it not worth while looking for a
vaccine or cure based on this fact ?

What do you think?

    I don't think mosquitoes are capable of becoming flying hypodermic needles. [:)]
