Factors influencing arbovirus transmission: vector competence and the effects of virus infection on repellent response, oxidative stress, and glutathione-S-transferase activity
… (ZIKV), La Crosse (LACV), and Cache Valley (CVV) viruses are mosquito-vectored diseases that cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans and animals. Transmission of these viruses are dependent on numerous factors including vector competence and the effects of mosquito-virus interactions. …

Characterization of the molecular and biological determinants of viral dissemination from the mosquito midgut: Yellow feber virus in Aedes aegypti
In order for a mosquito-borne virus to be transmitted from an infected mosquito to a vertebrate host, virus must disseminate from the mosquito midgut- the initial site of infection following uptake of an infectious bloodmeal- to infect the salivary glands and enter the saliva. The genetic …
