A Novel Anphevirus in <i>Aedes albopictus</i> Mosquitoes Is Distributed Worldwide and Interacts with the Host RNA Interference Pathway by Mosè Manni, Evgeny M. Zdobnov

“…The Asian tiger mosquito <i>Aedes albopictus</i> is a competent vector for several human arboviruses including dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses. Mosquitoes also harbor insect-specific viruses (ISVs) that may modulate host physiology and potentially affect the transmission of viruses that are pathogenic to vertebrates, thus representing a potential tool for vector control strategies. …”
