Re-emergence of the virus has affected millions of people in Africa and Asia since 2004. During the outbreak, a new lineage of the virus has evolved as an adaptation for enhanced replication and transmission by Aedes albopictus<\/jats:italic> mosquito. A study was designed to compare the susceptibility of four vertebrate cell lines, namely Vero E6 (African green monkey kidney), BHK-21 (Baby hamster kidney), RD (human rhabdomyosarcoma), A-549 (human alveolar basal epithelial cell) and C6\/36 (Ae. albopictus<\/jats:italic>) to Asian genotype and two lineages of East, Central and South African (E1:A226 and E1:A226V) of CHIKV.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n One-step growth kinetics of different CHIKV strains was carried out in the above five cell lines to determine the growth kinetics and virus yield. Virus titre was determined by 50 per cent tissue culture infectious dose assay and titres were calculated by the Reed and Muench formula. Growth and virus yield of the three strains in Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes was studied by intrathoracic inoculation and virus titration in Vero E6 cell line.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Virus titration showed Vero E6, C6\/36 and BHK-21 cell lines are high virus yielding with all the three lineages while RD and A-549 yielded low virus titres. C6\/36 cell line was the most sensitive and yielded the maximum titre. Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes, when inoculated with high titre virus, yielded an almost equal growth with the three strains while rapid growth of E1:A226V and Asian strain was observed with 1 log virus.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation & conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n C6\/36 cell line was found to be the most sensitive and high yielding for CHIKV irrespective of lineages while Vero E6 and BHK-21 cell lines yielded high titres and may find application for vaccine\/diagnostic development. Infection of Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes with the three CHIKV strains gave almost identical pattern of growth.<\/jats:p>\n
