Abstract excerpt
In this study we evaluated the growth and molecular evolution of a natural isolate of VSV-NJ (89GAS) from sand flies in cells derived from sand flies (LL5), mosquitoes (C6/36) or hamsters (BHK21). Two VSV-NJ natural isolates of mammalian origin were used for comparison. For each virus we measured: (i) ability to grow in one-step growth curve or after serial passage on each cell type; (ii) ability to induce...
