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...
Bacterial persisters refer to a small proportion of phenotypically heterogeneous variants with transient capability for survival when exposing to high concentrations of antibiotic, which constitute the major cause for recurrent infections both in human and aquatic infections. In pathogenic bacter...
