More than 100 pathogens, spanning multiple virus families, broadly termed 'arthropod-borne
viruses (arboviruses)'have been associated with human and/or animal diseases. These …

When an arbovirus enters an arthropod in an infected blood meal, several mechanisms may
interact to affect its life cycle and ultimate transmissibility. Intrinsic absolute failure in the …

Two cell lines (TA-42 and TA-9) established from Toxorhynchites amboinensis eggs and
larvae, respectively, are described. The TA-42 cells are epithelioid in character, while the TA …

Mosquito-borne viral diseases represent a major challenge to human public health. As
natural vectors of arboviruses, mosquitoes can be infected by a virus, but they have evolved …

It is generally accepted that arthropods, once infected with an arbovirus, remain infected,
productively, throughout their life-span. The negative cast of the results reported here …

Probing is the crucial phase for the successful intake of the blood by a mosquito female,
saliva being ejected during the intradermal probing period. When Tahyna virus (California …

Arthropod-borne viruses were not previously believed to cause discernible pathologic
changes in their natural mosquito vectors. We report cytopathologic lesions in the midgut of …

Autointerference with the replication of Bunyamwera virus was produced by propagation of
virus in BHK-21 cells. To investigate this phenomenon, standard and defective stocks of …

WITHIN A HUNDRED YEARS of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, Susruta, a Brahmin priest in
India, and Columella, a Roman agriculturalist, wrote of the spread of fevers (possibly …

The replication of Marituba virus (Bunyavirus genus, family Bunyaviridae), was studied in
Aedes albopictus (mosquito) cells. Infection of Aedes albopictus cells with Marituba virus …
