Mosquitoes vector some of the most significant pathogens of humans, including the causitive agents of malaria and dengue fever. Larval mosquitoes develop in aquatic environments and feed on detritus,
Systematic deletion and peptide tagging of the amino-terminal domain (NT, ∼43 amino acids) of an attenuated zucchini yellow mosaic potyvirus (ZYMV-AGII) coat protein (CP) were used to elucidate its ro
Here, we characterize the RIX line CC(032x013)F1, which serves as a mouse model of chronic WNV infection. While studies using C57BL/6 mice have shown that WNV RNA can persist in the CNS up to 3 months
