Lachesin is a mosquito receptor for multiple arthritogenic alphaviruses

2026-07-28

Abstract excerpt

Arthritogenic alphaviruses cause acute febrile illnesses associated with rash and arthritis when they are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Among these, chikungunya virus (CHIKV), transmitted primarily through the bite of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, causes explosive outbreaks involving hundreds of thousands to millions of cases, with recent re-emergence in...
