Abstract
Tabanus nigrovittatus, Chrysops fuliginosus, Chrysops obsoletus, and Chrysops atlanticus were examined for their ability to become parenterally infected with Jamestown Canyon (JC) and Keystone (KEY) viruses. Tabanus nigrovittatus was also tested for its ability to become orally infected with JC and KEY viruses. No evidence of virus infection and replication was demonstrable by immunofluorescence or by virus isolation in any of the flies tested. An improved technique for inducing T. nigrovittatus to engorge on blood under in vitro conditions is described.
