Aag2 (RRID:CVCL_Z617), AF05 (RRID:CVCL_A8M5) and AF319 (RRID:CVCL_A8M6) cells (Ae. aegypti derived), U4.4 (RRID:CVCL_Z820) and C6/36 (RRID:CVCL_Z230) cells (Ae. albopictus derived) were used for transfections. AF319 cells are Dcr-2 CRISPR knockout from the AF05 single cell derived parental cell line [20 (link)–22 (link)], while C6/36 cells have a non-functional Dcr-2 [23 (link)–25 (link)]. All mosquito cell lines were grown in Leibovitz-15 media (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Labtech), 100 I.U./ml penicillin with 100μg/ml streptomycin (Gibco), and 10% tryptose phosphate broth (Gibco) at 28°C without CO2 or humidity control.
