Viruses are tiny agents that can infect a variety of living organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Like other viruses, the dengue virus is a microscopic structure that can only replicate inside a host organism. Who discovered the dengue virus? How many types of dengue viruses are ...
Similarly, in mosquitoes, LDs accumulate in midgut cells in response toand Sindbis virus or when the native microbiota proliferates, following a blood meal. Also, constitutive activation of Toll and IMD pathways by knocking-down their respective negative modulators (Cactus and Caspar) increases LDs ...
COLOMBO, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- The Sri Lankan government is to begin trialling a special bacteria as part of a program to eradicate the dengue virus, local media reports, quoting Health Ministry officials said here Thursday. Deputy Director General of the Health Ministry Paba Palihawadana said ...
When flavivirus prM and E proteins are co-expressed in cells, these pro- teins assemble into virus-like particles (VLPs) that are secreted from cells. Flavivirus VLPs have been produced in a wide variety of expression platforms such as plants, insect cells, bacteria, yeast and mammalian ...

Cellular receptors are the key to virus infection. They may serve as an attachment factor that anchors virus particles and prolongs their stay to activate entry, as a signaling receptor that triggers the required biochemical cascade in the viral life cycle, or as an entry receptor that induces ...
22,000 deaths, mostly among children. These numbers underestimate the global burden of dengue, because many infections are asymptomatic (but can serve as infectious blood meals for mosquitoes) or may be misdiagnosed as febrile diseases of other etiologies such as chikungunya, Zika virus or malaria...
Dengue fever infections dropped dramatically in an Indonesian study where a bacteria was introduced into disease-carrying mosquitoes, offering hope in the battle against an illness that sickens millions annually around the world.
number of female adult dengue vectors infected or not infected with dengue virus (DENV), human exposure toAedesmosquito bites, and several other indices. These indices will also be used to develop predictive models for dengue transmission and impending outbreaks. Epidemiological and entomological data ...
Competition between viruses and Wolbachia for host lipids is a proposed mechanism of Wolbachia-mediated virus blocking in insects. Yet, the metabolomic interaction between virus and symbiont within the mosquito has not been clearly defined. We compare th
