Dengue and chikungunya virus loads in the mosquito Aedes aegypti are determined by distinct genetic architectures.

Dengue and chikungunya virus loads in the mosquito Aedes aegypti are determined by distinct genetic architectures.

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of the arboviruses dengue (DENV) and chikungunya (CHIKV). These viruses exhibit key differences in their vector interactions, the latter moving more quicky through the mosquito and triggering fewer standard antiviral pathways. As the global footprint of CHIKV cont...
