Semliki forest virus
Enveloped virus of the alphavirus group of Togaviridae. First isolated from mosquitoes in the Semliki Forest in Uganda; not known to cause any illness. The synthesis and export of its three spike glycoproteins, via the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex, have been used as a model for the synthesis and export of plasma membrane proteins.
