Resumo: Aedes albopictus as well as Aedes aegypti is an important vector of chikungunya - dengue viruses. Electron microscopic observations on the salivary gl-s of Ae. albopictus infected with chikungunya virus were performed in comparing with those of Ae. aegypti infected with dengue virus. No virus budding from the cell surface of the chikungunya-infected mosquito's salivary gl-s was found as shown in dengue-infected ones, in contrast to the findings of the mammalian cells such as Vero, KB, IMR, J-111 - BHK-21 cells infected with chikungunya -/or dengue virus(es).
