Influence of temperature corresponding to that of the vector on Tahyna virus.
The behaviour of uncloned, low-passage Tahyna virus in an Aedes albopictus (AA) cell line at 28 and 20 degrees C was studied in the course of 10 passages. The virus multiplied at both temperatures without any apparent effect on the host cell. At 28 and 20 degrees C reduction of plaque size, decrease of peripheral virulence and weakening of thermostability were observed. Differences between both temperatures were only in the intensity of these changes.
