Polygenic viral factors enable efficient mosquito-borne transmission of African Zika virus

2025-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus primarily transmitted among humans by Aedes aegypti . Over the past two decades, it has caused significant outbreaks associated with birth defects and neurological disorders. Phylogenetically, ZIKV consists of two main genotypes referred to as the African and Asian lineages, each exhibiting distinct biological properties. African lineage strains are transmitted mor...
