The TE/3'2J double subgenomic Sindbis (dsSIN) viruses have been used to stably express genes in Aedes aegypti nerve and salivary gland tissues. However, because these viruses inefficiently infect Ae. aegypti when administered by the per os route, TE/3'2J viruses must be intrathoracically inoculated into the mosquitoes to infect these tissues. A Malaysian Sindbis (SIN) virus isolate (MRE16) does efficiently infect Ae. aegypti midgut tissues after ingestion, and approximately 95% of these mosquitoes also develop disseminated infections within 14 days. We have sequenced the entire 26S RNA of MRE16 virus and have developed a chimeric SIN cDNA infectious clone, designated MRE1001, which contains sequence elements of TE/3'2J and MRE16 virus. MRE1001 virus efficiently infects midgut cells, and greater than 90% of infected mosquitoes develop disseminated infections after 14 days extrinsic incubation. The chimeric MRE1001 cDNA clone should allow identification of viral determinants of midgut infection and dissemination and lead to the development of new SIN virus expression systems.
