Zika Virus Dissemination from the Midgut of Aedes aegypti is Facilitated by Bloodmeal-Mediated Structural Modification of the Midgut Basal Lamina
The arboviral disease cycle requires that key tissues in the arthropod vector become
persistently infected with the virus. The midgut is the first organ in the mosquito that needs to …
