Triniti virus (21st mouse passage) was serially passaged (intrathoracic inoculation of 5 salivary gland pairs) at 1 or 2 week intervals five times through Aedes taeniorhynchus, Ae serratus and Ae scapularis; Culex quinquefasciatus appeared refractory to serial passage, however, obvious maintenance of virus in some species but successful transmission to day-old mice were few. Four transmissions effected by Ae taeniorhynchus (after 14 days incubation); 2 with Ae serratus (15 day incubation) and one with Cx quinquefasciatus (after 14 days incubation but during the first passage) (4).
