Invasive Aedes albopictus is a competent vector for O'nyong Nyong virus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
O'nyong-nyong virus (ONNV) is a zoonotic vector-borne alphavirus with humans as primary hosts during urban outbreaks. While its enzootic transmission cycle is not well investigated, its pattern of disappearance and reemergence suggests overlooked but critical wildlife reservoirs. While ONNV travel-related cases were reported in Canada and Germany, autochthonous transmission is limited to sub-Saharan Africa. The lack of specialised vectors, such as anopheline mosquitoes, is considered to be one of the reasons. Here, we investigated the vector competence of native and invasive culicine mosquitoes from Germany. While the tested native culicine mosquitoes from Germany did not transmit ONNV, our results provide experimental evidence for potential ONNV transmission by invasive Ae. albopictus mosquitoes. We further investigated the role of temperature on ONNV transmission. Ae. albopictus mosquitoes are highly invasive and have become widespread in Europe in the last decade. Our results highlight that, combined with rising summer temperatures and the abundance of competent vectors, ONNV may emerge as a public health threat for Europe in the near future.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
