Abstract: | The results of the studies on fowl plague virus (FPV, Rostok strain) reproduction in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are presented. The virus-containing allantoic fluid was inoculated intrathoracally in volumes of 0.1 and 0.2 microliter. The virus was isolated in chick embryos and could be detected at 5--14 days after inoculation. After inoculation of 0.1 microliter of virus it could be detected in doses of 0.5, 2.0, 1.75 Ig2 ID50, after inoculation of 0.2 microliter--in doses of 5, 1.5, and 0.5 Ig2 ID50. |
