MicroRNAs and other small RNAs in Aedes aegypti saliva and salivary glands following chikungunya virus infection
9 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Mosquito saliva facilitates blood feeding through the anti-haemostatic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of its proteins. However, the potential contribution of non-coding RNAs to host manipulation is still poorly understood. We analysed small RNAs from Aedes aegypti saliva and salivary glands and show here that chikungunya virus-infection triggers both the siRNA and piRNA antiviral pathways with...
