A laboratory-adapted and a clinical isolate of dengue virus serotype 4 differently impact Aedes aegypti life-history traits relevant to vectorial capacity | Microbiology Spectrum As dengue virus (DENV) cases rise globally, vector control strategies targeting Aedes aegypti remain essential to public health. The effectiveness of these interventions depends on understanding how v...

Our new study shows that two DENV-4 genotype II strains - a lab-adapted and a clinical isolate - differently affect Aedes aegypti fertility, flight, and infection, revealing genotype-specific impacts on vector competence.

There is so much knowledge in the bookshelves of the office I am using! Lots of Immunology, biochemistry, cell biology, insect science.

Nice science!
