Selective TLR ligand stimulation enhances in vivo mosquito-borne flavivirus pathogenicity
29 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Mosquito saliva facilitates pathogen transmission and enhances the severity of diseases caused by mosquito-borne viruses; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that mosquito salivary gland extracts (SGEs) enhance flaviviral pathogenicity in vivo by activating innate immune responses following the accumulation of immune cells at the infection site. Among the innate immune signaling...
