Persistent infection of mosquito vectors is essential for the transmission of arboviruses, yet how these viruses produce sufficient progeny without compromising host cell fitness remains unclear. Arbovirus genomes exhibit suboptimal codon usage for both human and mosquito hosts, raising questions...
The midgut of hematophagous insects is the initial site of infection by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) and plays a crucial role in vector competence. To further understand processes that occur in the midgut in response to infection by an arbovirus, DNA microarrays were used to analyze gene ex...
