Abstract
Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) was injected intrathoracically i nto Aedes aegypti, Stomoxys calcitrans, and Tabanus fuscicostatus, and fed to Ac. aegypti in suspensions of either artificial blood or Eagle 's Minimum Essential Medium. insects were stored al -70 degrees C far up to 9 months before resting for the presence of EIAV. The viral tiss ue culture titers detected from stored insects were similar to those f rom insects tested al time 0.
