Inter-kingdom interactions in the mosquito gut

7 February 2019 by Vincent Racaniello

Biting mosquitoThe gut tracts of many animals are inhabited by a microbial community composed of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses. The interplay among these inhabitants can have an impact on health and disease. Mosquitoes are no exception – replication of dengue virus in the gut tract is modulated by a fungus and a bacterium.

TWiV 458: Saliva of the fittest

10 September 2017 by Vincent Racaniello

The TWiVians present an imported case of yellow fever in New York City, and explain how a dengue virus subgenomic RNA disrupts immunity in mosquito salivary glands to increase virus replication.
