Temperature Dramatically Shapes Mosquito Gene Expression With Consequences for Mosquito–Zika Virus Interactions

Abstract excerpt

Vector-borne flaviviruses are emerging threats to human health. For successful transmission, the virus needs to efficiently enter mosquito cells, replicate within, and escape several tissue barriers while mosquitoes elicit major transcriptional responses to flavivirus infection. This process will not only be affected by the specific mosquito-pathogen pairing, but also variation in key environmental variables such...
