b
Infection is indicated as + (positive virus infection or transmission to suckling mice) or −(negative virus infection or transmission to sucking mice). PFU, virus dose in log10 Vero PFU per mosquito required to infect 50% (Vero cells are an African green monkey kidney fibroblast cell line). LD50, virus dose in log10 suckling mouse LD50 per mosquito required to infect 50%. CCID50, virus dose in log10 CCID50 per mosquito required to infect 50% in BHK (baby hamster kidney) cells, (B) or Vero cells (V).
