Abstract

COVID-19 is a Corona Virus Disease which spreads through the spread of the virus due to the cough or the sneezing of an infected person. Due the sneezing of the person the virus droplets spreads which in turn infects the respiratory tract of the human beings because Corona is a respiratory virus. In this paper the study has been focused on the spread of the virus through the mosquitos. To spread the virus, the virus must replicate itself in the blood of the mosquito so that when a mosquito bites a human being it will be injected into the blood of the infected person and further the respiratory tract of the human being. But such cases have not been so far that corona spreads through the mosquito and some studies has been cited that are based on the testing of the mosquito for the replication of the corona in the mosquito. This paper will help to understand that whether mosquitos are able to spread the corona virus or not and the cause behind the inability to spread the virus by the mosquitos.
