The microbiome modulates arbovirus transmission in mosquitoes
Autor(es): Hegde Shivanand, Rasgon Jason L, Hughes Grant L
Resumo: Mosquito-transmitted arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) such as dengue virus, chikungunya virus, - West Nile virus constitute a major public health burden - are increasing in severity - frequency worldwide. The microbiota associated with mosquitoes (comprised of viruses, bacteria, fungi - protozoa) can profoundly influence many host phenotypes including vector competence, which can either be enhanced or suppressed. Thus, the tripartite interactions between the mosquito vector, its microbiota - the pathogens they transmit offer novel possibilities to control arthropod-borne diseases.
