Chikungunya virus infection of cell monolayers by cell-to-cell and extracellular transmission

N Hahon et al. Appl Microbiol. 1970 Feb.

Abstract

Both cell-to-cell and extracellular transmission of chikungunya virus infection was demonstrated in BHK21/C13 cell monolayers. The mode of virus infection may depend on the cell line. Virus transmission in L-929 and guinea pig lung cell lines was extracellular.
