Eilat virus (EILV) causes superinfection exclusion against West Nile virus (WNV) in a strain-specific manner in Culex tarsalis mosquitoes

Abstract excerpt
West Nile virus (WNV) is the leading cause of mosquito-borne illness in the USA. There are currently no human vaccines or therapies available for WNV, and vector control is the primary strategy used to control WNV transmission.
