Figure 1

The mosquito-human transmission cycle. An infectious mosquito bites a susceptible, uninfected human and transmits the virus via saliva. Once the human becomes infectious (usually accompanied by symptoms), the human can transmit the pathogen to an uninfected mosquito via the blood the mosquito ingests. Source.
