small- and large-plaque variants of chikungunya virus in two vertebrate and seven invertebrate cell lines.	nine cells lines--bhk-21, vero, aedes albopictus, a. aegypti (monolayer and howwow vesicles), a. w-albus, a. vittatus, anopheles stephensi and culex quinquefasciatus--were infected with small- and large-plaque (sp, lp) variants of chikungunya virus. ross strain, and incubated at different temperatures. in the aedes (29 plus or minus 1 degrees c) and the vertebrate cell lines (36 degrees c), infectivity titers of extracellular virus rapidly reached a peak; cytopathic effect (cpe) occurred only in ...	1975	235192
experimental transmission of chikungunya virus by anopheles stephensi mosquitoes.	the ades aegypti mosquito has been considered the principal vector of chikungunya (chik) virus. as chik epidemics usually occur in urban regions and anopheles stephensi is another highly endophilic and anthropophilic mosquito, there is a very high probability of this mosquito to feed on chik virus-infected patients, to pick up and transmit the virus. therefore the present study was conducted to test the chik virus transmission capability for the a. stephensi mosquito. the obtained results showed ...	2003	12828344
