We have examined the replication and tissue distribution of the alphavirus Sindbis in the
mosquito Aedes albopictus. Parenteral inoculation of virus resulted in an acute infection …

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

The mechanism of transovarial transmission of San Angelo (SA) virus in Aedes albopictus
was investigated. A mosquito line with SA virus filial infection rates of almost 100% was …

An electron microscopical study was conducted on the pathology of the mosquito iridescent
virus (MIV) of Aedes taeniorhynchus in monolayer cultures of Aedes aegypti cells. The …

The formation of the peritrophic membrane in adult female mosquitoes, Culex tarsalis, was
examined by light and electron microscopy. The initial evidence of secretion of peritrophic …

Vertical transmission of arboviruses provides a unique mechanism for arbovirus
maintenance during adverse environmental conditions and amplification in nature. The …

Laboratory investigations in the UK on the replication of arboviruses in arthropod systems in
vitro are reviewed, with special reference to the cell lines now available, comparative …

During the past two years several hundred attempts have been made by the author to
establish continuous cell lines from various mosquitoes of the Culex tritaeniorhynchus …

Our studies were first performed with suspended cell cultures, utilizing Grace's line of A.
aegypti (1966) cloned and adapted to grow in a hemolymph-free medium (Suitor et al …

The evolutionary origins of arboviruses are unknown because their typical dual host tropism
is paraphyletic within viral families. Here we studied one of the most diversified and …
