This study identifies sfRNA in mosquito saliva that enhances orthoflavivirus transmission by inhibiting MDA5-mediated interferon response in human skin cells.

This study identifies the RIG-I/MDA5-MAVS-IRF3 axis as the pathway sensing TONV infection and activating the IFN-I response to restrict viral replication.

This study uses single-cell RNA-sequencing to analyze skin responses to West Nile virus-infected mosquito bites, identifying fibroblasts as key cells restricting viral transmission.

This study identifies how dengue virus uses mosquito Syntenin to package and secrete viral RNA into salivary exosomes, revealing a mechanism for viral RNA incorporation into extracellular vesicles.

This study identifies sphingomyelins in mosquito salivary extracellular vesicles that enhance flavivirus transmission by altering the host lipidome and increasing viral protein levels.

This study demonstrates that West Nile virus is transmitted among mosquitoes via infectious excreta, revealing a new transmission route and its epidemiological impact.

The paper surveys Astrovirus infection in Zimbabwean bat species, finding high genetic diversity and co-infection with Coronaviruses.
