We developed chimeric vaccine candidates using the non-structural protein genes of either Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) attenuated vaccine strain TC-83 or a naturally attenuated strain of eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and the structural genes of CHIKV. Because the transmission of genetically modified live vaccine strains is undesirable because of the potentially unpredictable evolution of these viruses as well as the potential for reversion, we evaluated the ability of these vaccines to infect the urban CHIKV vectors, <jats:italic>Aedes aegypti<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Ae. albopictus<\/jats:italic>. Both vaccine candidates exhibited significantly lower infection and dissemination rates compared with the parent alphaviruses. Intrathoracic inoculations indicated that reduced infectivity was mediated by midgut infection barriers in both species. These results indicate a low potential for transmission of these vaccine strains in the event that a vaccinee became viremic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2011.11-0049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,1]],"date-time":"2011-06-01T18:44:22Z","timestamp":1306953862000},"page":"1012-1015","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Transmission Potential of Two Chimeric Chikungunya Vaccine Candidates in the Urban Mosquito Vectors, Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Justin R.","family":"Darwin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joan L.","family":"Kenney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott C.","family":"Weaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"28","article-title":"An epidemic of virus disease in Southern Province, Tanganyika Territory, in 1952\u201353.
