Effect of mosquito saliva from distinct species on human dermal endothelial cell function <i>in vitro</i> and West Nile virus pathogenesis <i>in vivo</i>
2025-03-06
Abstract excerpt
During probing and feeding, an infected mosquito injects both virus and saliva into the host skin. The presence of mosquito saliva in the skin increases arbovirus pathogenesis in the bitten host, however the exact mechanism behind this remains to be determined. It is hypothesized that disease enhancement is dependent on the function of the dermal endothelium, where an increased permeability aids in the influx of v...
