Wolbachia Inhibits Binding of Dengue and Zika Viruses to Mosquito Cells
4 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
As traditional approaches to the control of dengue and Zika are insufficient, significant efforts have been made to develop utilization of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia to reduce the ability of mosquitoes to transmit pathogens. Although Wolbachia is known to inhibit flaviviruses in mosquitoes, including dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses, it remains unclear how the endosymbiont interferes with viral...
