Arboviruses and apoptosis: the role of cell death in determining vector competence
Autor(es): Clem Rollie J
Resumo: A relatively small number of mosquito species transmit arboviruses such as dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya - West Nile viruses to hundreds of millions of people each year, yet we still lack a thorough underst-ing of the molecular factors that determine vector competence. Apoptosis has been shown to be an important factor in determining the outcome of virus infection for many viruses. However, until recently, it was not clear whether apoptosis plays a role in determining the outcome of arbovirus infections in mosquitoes. Recent work has begun to shed light on the roles of apoptosis in this important process.
