Abstract
During the last few years studies have been conducted on the role of arthropods as vectors of oncogenic viruses. In our laboratory insects were studied as vectors of murine leukemia virus, murine sarcoma virus and a reticuloendotheliosis virus causing avian leukemia. Preliminary results indicated that certain insects in some instances can act as mechanical vectors of these viruses. To complement these studies experiments were performed in vitro to determine if cultured mosquito cells can serve as host cells for the replication of oncogenic viruses.
