CMV virus is usually found in very scarse numbers and types of plants. Now mosquitoes are serving as transportation for the virus to possess several hosts. How does it work? Plants infected with the virus release an odor. This odor is very attractive for the likes of mosquitoes and other insects that can feed off of plants. Mosquitoes in this case stand on the plant and once they start feeding off of the plant, the virus is transferred. Those same mosquitoes go on and feed off of other animals and other plants; transferring the virus to those other "victims" aahhhh!!! ;p
1. This discovery was made through the use of scientific discovery. The scientists simply observed the different characteristics, results and patterns of the different mosquitoe/plant "interactions", and based on the observations they made their conclusions.
2. This is important for humans because of the infection traveling. It can be contagious for humas, and if it is not then it can be contagious for animals we consume.
