Transmission of Sindbis Virus by Aedes aegypti to a Chick Embryo Cell Culture System.
Autor(es): Mason J O,Frothingham T E,Spielman A,Weller T H
Resumo: A chick embryo cell culture containing adenosine triphosphate and covered with an animal-derived membrane was developed. Female A. aegypti fed upon these cultures readily. After exposure of the cultures to mosquitoes infected with Sindbis virus, plaques appeared within 72 hours and virus was recovered from the plaques. This culture system may be useful in the study of arbovirus ecology.
