The susceptibility of isolated guts from various species of mosquito to some arboviruses.
Isolated guts cultured in vitro from Aedes Aeaegypti and Ae. togoi were more susceptible to infection by SIN, SF, CHIK and WN viruses than tissue similarly cultured from Anopheles gambiae and An. stephensi. Langat TP 64, a tick-borne virus, failed to infect any of the cultured mosquito tissues.
