Synthetic miRNAs induce dual arboviral-resistance phenotypes in the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti
1 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mosquito-borne arboviruses are responsible for recent dengue, chikungunya, and Zika pandemics. The yellow-fever mosquito,Aedes aegypti, plays an important role in the transmission of all three viruses. We developed a miRNA-based approach that results in a dual resistance phenotype in mosquitoes to dengue serotype 3 (DENV-3) and chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses. The target viruses are from two distinct...
