Abstract
The susceptibility of A. albopictus and A. aegypti cell lines to infection with 22 arboviruses and 4 other viruses is listed in Table 28. A. albopictus was susceptible to infection with all the mosquito-borne arboviruses tested, but was generally resistant, with certain exceptions, to infection with members of the tick-borne groups. A. aegypti was much more restricted in its susceptibility and could support the growth of only three arboviruses. Attempts to infect both cell lines with other species of animal viruses were not successful.
