The RNAi pathway plays a small part in Wolbachia-mediated blocking of dengue virus in mosquito cells
6 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Wolbachia pipientis is an insect endosymbiont known to limit the replication of viruses including dengue and Zika in their primary mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti. Wolbachia is being released into mosquito populations globally in a bid to control the diseases caused by these viruses. It is theorized that Wolbachia's priming of the insect immune system may confer protection against subsequent viral infection. Other...
