“…Insect cell lines have traditionally played a special role in arbovirus studies (Igarashi 1978, Tesh & Modi 1983), but they have also been used in cocultures for parasite studies (Greany 1991, Leake 1997, to evaluate resistance to insecticides (McCarthy et al 1987) and as substrates and expression vectors (i.e. baculovirus) to develop biological control strategies (Gelernter & Federici 1986).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
