Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of dengue (DEN) virus was explored using two South American DEN-1 virus strains isolated from viremic human sera. DEN-1 virus strains BR/90 and FGA/89 were selected on the basis of their membrane fusion properties in mosquito cell cultures. Infection of mosquito cell lines with BR/90 virus strain induced a cytopathic effect characterized by syncytium formation whereas no cytopathic changes...
