Molecular basis for chikungunya virus recognition of a mosquito-specific receptor

2026-07-29

Abstract excerpt

Alphaviruses are arthropod-borne viruses that recognize cellular receptors in both vertebrate hosts and mosquito vectors to complete their transmission cycle, yet how they maintain recognition of receptors across evolutionarily divergent host species remains unresolved. Among alphaviruses, chikungunya virus (CHIKV), which is primarily vectored in urban settings by Aedes species mosquitoes, is the most widespread,...
