("gametocytes") are picked up by a female Anopheles mosquito during a blood meal, they start another, different cycle of growth and multiplication in the mosquito. After 10-18 days, the parasites are found (as "sporozoites") in the mosquito's salivary glands.

The pathophysiology of West Nile Virus (WNV) begins with peripheral inoculation (via a mosquito bite), and thus the initial replication of the virus occurs in the skin and mucosa itself, specifically in the Langerhans dendritic cells (Samuel & Diamond, 2006, para.
