To be transmitted, CHIKV must replicate in the mosquito midgut, then disseminate in the hemocele and infect the salivary glands before being released in saliva. We have developed a standardized protocol to visualize viral particles in the mosquito salivary glands using transmission electron microscopy. Here we provide direct evidence for CHIKV replication and storage in Ae. albopictus salivary glands. © 2015 by the authors. | Source Title: | Viruses | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/180416 | ISSN: | 1999-4915 | DOI: | 10.3390/v7112917 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
