ABSTRACT
Dengue virus replication in mosquito cell cultures was observed by electron microscopy in one fatal and 40 classical isolates from a dengue type 2 outbreak in Rio de Janeiro and compared with the prototype New Guinea C strain. All the Brazilian isolates presented, beside the classical structured dengue virus particles, fuzzy coated virus-like particles, never observed in the referencial New Guinea C virus strain. More numerous DEN-2 virus particles, fuzzy coated virus-like particles, defective virus particles and smooth membrane structures inside the rough endoplasmic reticulum characterized the unique fatal isolate examined.
