Chikungunya Virus Infection of Cell Monolayers by Cell-to-Cell and Extracellular Transmission

Nicholas Hahon 1, W Douglas Zimmerman 1
PMCID: PMC376692  PMID: 4908535

Abstract

Both cell-to-cell and extracellular transmission of chikungunya virus infection was demonstrated in BHK21/C13 cell monolayers. The mode of virus infection may depend on the cell line. Virus transmission in L-929 and guinea pig lung cell lines was extracellular.
