Abstract
In 1959 Grace noted a decided time lag between early attempts to culture insect tissues in vitro and the development of techniques that would permit long term survival or growth of insect cells and tissues under these conditions. Lack of these techniques was undoubtedly responsible for the nearly complete absence of studies on multiplication of arthropod-borne vertebrate viruses and rickettsiae in arthropod tissue and cell cultures during the first four decades of insect tissue culture, 1916–1956.
