Unleashing Nature’s Allies: Comparing the Vertical Transmission Dynamics of Insect-Specific and Vertebrate-Infecting Flaviviruses in Mosquitoes
23 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Insect-specific viruses (ISVs) include viruses that are restricted to the infection of mosquitoes and are spread mostly through transovarial transmission. Despite using a distinct mode of transmission, ISVs are often phylogenetically related to arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) that are responsible for human diseases and able to infect both mosquitoes and vertebrates. ISVs can also induce a phenomenon called...
