Aedes albopictus (Skuse) mosquitoes collected in Potosi, Mo., were tested for their ability to
transmit a newly recognized Bunyamwera sero group virus isolated from the same mosquito …

The alternating host cycle and persistent vector infection may constrain the evolution of
arboviruses. To test this hypothesis, eastern equine encephalitis virus was passaged in BHK …

The increasing number of reports of transovarial transmission of arboviruses in mosquitoes
has renewed interest in this mechanism for the survival of arboviruses in adverse conditions …

The family Bunyaviridae was formally established by the International Committee on
Taxonomy of Viruses in 1975 (Porterfield et al., 1975) and is currently the largest grouping of …

Previous reviews by Day & associates (34, 35, 36) have treated exten sively the
mechanisms of transmission of plant and animal viruses by various arthropods in many …

We have investigated the infection of Aedes albopictus (mosquito) cell clones by Sindbis
virus. Variation in the multiplicity of infection (MOI) from ranges of 50–0.00005 pfu/cell was …

Mosquitoes are the invertebrate hosts of a variety of human and animal pathogens,
including several arboviruses. Since viruses depend on their host cells for reproduction, they …

Historically, biological control utilizes predatory species and pathogenic microorganisms to
reduce the population of mosquitoes as disease vectors. This is particularly important for the …

Cultured Aëaes aegypti mosquito cells dissplay three distinct growth stages. First a
monolayer is formed, then some of the cells aggregate, and finally there appear vesicular …

In spite of the great advances that have been made over recent years in our understanding
of the structure and replication of viruses, and of the genetic mechanisms of host cells, the …
