Recently, we estimated that the epidemic Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) vector, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) taeniorhynchus, salivates 0.2-3.2 [log.sub.10] PFU into oil-filled capillary tubes (12).

Since most saliva is expectorated during probing, salivation into hanging drops or capillary tubes may be inaccurate because mosquitoes do not need to salivate to locate a blood vessel.

Also, mosquitoes are usually allowed to salivate into capillary tubes for a longer time (e.g., 30 minutes) than is required for engorgement on a host.

An additional cohort of mosquitoes was allowed to salivate for intervals (repeated in triplicate) to duplicate times of observed mosquito feeding.
