Abstract
Aedes albopictus as well as Aedes aegypti is an important vector of chikungunya and dengue viruses. Electron microscopic observations on the salivary glands of Ae. albopictus infected with chikungunya virus were performed in comparing with those of Ae. aegypti infected with dengue virus. No virus budding from the cell surface of the chikungunya-infected mosquito's salivary glands was found as shown in dengue-infected ones, in contrast to the findings of the mammalian cells such as Vero, KB, IMR, J-111 and BHK-21 cells infected with chikungunya and/or dengue virus(es).
