Vector Infection Determinants of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Reside within the E2 Envelope Glycoprotein
15 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Epizootic subtype IAB and IC Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses (VEEV) readily infect the epizootic mosquito vector Aedes taeniorhynchus. The inability of enzootic subtype IE viruses to infect this mosquito species provides a model system for the identification of natural viral determinants of vector infectivity. To map mosquito infection determinants, reciprocal chimeric viruses generated from epizootic...
