Insect-transmitted vertebrate viruses: Flaviviridae 1993 .txt text/plain 8060 416 41 Additionally, these culture systems permit the study of flavivirus attachment, penetration, replication, and release from cells and have been instrumental in the production and characterization of live-attenuated vaccines. Cell culture is essential for the study of flaviviruses, and will continue to play a pivotal role in the isolation, characterization, and development of new vaccines against current and future flavivirus health threats. More recent research has shown that fusion of dengue, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis viruses may in fact involve fusion of virus directly to the cell's plasma membrane (52, 108) . The observation that persistent dengue virus infections can be established in a non-vector mosquito cell line associated with changes in several of the important biological characteristics, such as temperature sensitivity and antigenic structure (64) , presents the possibility that genetic selection of attenuated virus strains may be possible with insect cell lines. ./cache/cord-005246-cskb0njm.txt ./txt/cord-005246-cskb0njm.txt
