Limitations in harnessing oral RNA interference as an antiviral strategy in Aedes aegypti
16 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti , are critical vectors for globally significant pathogenic viruses. This study examines the limitations of oral RNA interference (RNAi) as a strategy to disrupt viral transmission by Ae. aegypti . We hypothesized that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting the Zika virus (ZIKV) or chikungunya virus (CHIKV) genomes produced by engineered bacterial symbionts could trigger an...
