Aedes aegypti is the primary transmitter of the four viruses that have had the greatest impact
on human health, the viruses causing yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika …

Flaviviruses, such as dengue, Japanese encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis, West Nile,
yellow fever, and Zika viruses, are critically important human pathogens that sicken a …

Human pathogens that are transmitted by insects are a global problem, particularly those
vectored by mosquitoes; for example, malaria parasites transmitted by Anopheles species …

Coinfections involving viruses are being recognized to influence the disease pattern that
occurs relative to that with single infection. Classically, we usually think of a clinical …

Mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti, are becoming important models for studying invasion
biology. We characterized genetic variation at 12 microsatellite loci in 79 populations of Ae …

Mosquitoes are hematophagous vectors that can acquire human viruses in their intestinal
tract. Here, we define a mosquito gut commensal bacterium that promotes permissiveness to …

The Flavivirus genus is in the family Flaviviridae and is comprised of more than 70 viruses.
These viruses have a broad geographic range, circulating on every continent except …

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a significant threat to global health, causing
human disease with increasing geographic range and severity. The recent availability of the …

We have developed genetically modified Ae. aegypti mosquitoes that activate the conserved
antiviral JAK/STAT pathway in the fat body tissue, by overexpressing either the receptor …

Diseases caused by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as Dengue, West Nile, and
Chikungunya, constitute a major global health burden and are increasing in incidence and …
