| experimental transmission of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus by a strain of aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) from new orleans, louisiana. | experimental studies were undertaken to ascertain the vector competence of a strain of aedes albopictus (skuse) collected in new orleans, la, (gentilly strain) for an epizootic (trinidad donkey) strain of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (vee) virus. this strain of ae. albopictus was significantly more susceptible to infection with vee virus than were any of the four strains tested previously, including two from north america and two from south america. likewise, dissemination (148 of 180) (8 ... | 1992 | 1404258 |
| a single amino acid change in the e2 glycoprotein of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus affects replication and dissemination in aedes aegypti mosquitoes. | four monoclonal antibody-resistant variants (marvs) of venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee) virus were used to study mosquito-virus interactions. in vitro experiments using an aedes albopictus cell line, c6/36, demonstrated that an amino acid change in the glycoprotein e2h epitope (marv 1a3b-7) decreased virus growth when compared with the wild-type, trinidad donkey virus, and its vaccine derivative, tc-83. the marvs replicated as efficiently as the parent virus when inoculated into aedes aegypt ... | 1991 | 1919525 |
| transmission of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus by strains of aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) collected in north and south america. | experimental studies were undertaken to ascertain the vector potential of north american (houston and alsace) and south american (sao paulo and santa teresa) strains of aedes albopictus (skuse) for an epizootic (trinidad donkey) strain of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (vee) virus. infection rates were similar in all four strains of ae. albopictus tested after ingestion of vee virus from a viremic hamster. virus disseminated from the midgut to the hemocoel in about 80% of infected mosquitoe ... | 1991 | 2033608 |
