The alphaviruses are a genus of 26 enveloped viruses that cause disease in humans and
domestic animals. Mosquitoes or other hematophagous arthropods serve as vectors for …

SV LM21 is a mutant of Sindbis virus, which in contrast to SV STD, is able to replicate in
Aedes albopictus mosquito cells deprived of methionine. We have obtained evidence that …

Mosquito-borne arboviruses cause important and expanding disease problems. In this
article, Colin Leake reviews the increasing knowledge of the complex interaction of …

Until recently, viruses were generally divided on the basis of their host range into bacterial,
plant, vertebrate, and invertebrate viruses (82). However, it was clear that strict division of …

Midguts of two strains of the mosquito vector Culex tarsalis were examined by light and
electron microscopy following infection with western equine encephalomyelitis virus …

Virus dissemination and associated pathology were examined in Aedes albopictus after
intrathoracic inoculation of Sindbis virus (SIN), the prototypic Alphavirus. At 10 days …

Publisher Summary This chapter treats recent findings concerning the biosynthetic
machinery in mosquito and vertebrate cells infected with alphatogaviruses and attempts to …

Invertebrate cell culture is increasingly being used in various areas of biological research.
Research in cellular biology and pathology that previously depended primarily on in vitro …

Alphatogaviruses, of which Sindbis virus (SV) is the prototype, replicate to high titer in the
laboratory both in mosquito cells and in vertebrate cells. By studying the replication of SV in …

The Togaviridae and Flaviviridae are closely related families of enveloped RNA viruses. The
defined families of Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Bunyaviridae were grouped ecologically …
