At 10 dpi CHIKV infection in individual mosquito was detected by observing virus-induced CPE in Vero cells inoculated with mosquito homogenates. The OID<sub>50</sub> values were calculated using the PriProbit program (version 1.63) and expressed as Log<sub>10</sub>(pfu)/mL (<b>A</b>). The difference in the infection rates between SL07-226V and SL07-226V-210Q viruses was tested for significance with a two-tailed Fishes exact test (<b>B</b>).</p> 2011-12-08 01:41:16 e2-l210q substitution chikv infectivity
