Abstract excerpt
The genetic consequences of passing three different strains of La Crosse (LAC) virus orally and transovarially in Aedes triseriatus mosquitoes were examined. Two of the LAC strains (WT LAC and LAC ORI) had been passaged numerous times in cell culture; the third strain (SM1-78) had been passaged only once in suckling mice. Genetic changes were monitored in three regions of the LAC genome after oral infection and...
