Cool temperature limit Zika virus genome replication
2021-06-08
Abstract excerpt
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus known to cause severe birth defects and neuroimmunological disorders. We have previously demonstrated that mosquito transmission of Zika virus decreases with temperature. While transmission was optimized at 29°C, it was limited at cool temperatures (< 22°C) due to poor virus establishment in the mosquitoes. Temperature is one of the strongest drivers of vector-borne diseas...
