Researchers have discovered a new bacterium that can prevent dengue and Zika viruses from infecting mosquitoes. A DNA vaccine against Zika, developed by researchers, has shown promising results in preclinical trials on mice, offering a potential cost-effective solution. The study also involved sequencing viral RNA and DNA from mosquitoes in São Paulo to understand arbovirus circulation for predicting outbreaks.
As if we needed more proof that symbioses r awesome A naturally isolated symbiotic bacterium suppresses flavivirus transmission by Aedes mosquitoes @ScienceMagazine &check out @PLOSBiology new Symbiosis collection https://t.co/eouiQWccuO https://t.co/SOb8w9GWDN
This is a great collection of articles on symbiosis across the tree of life - definitely worth a read. Stellar authors giving their thoughts on the evolution, relevance and the many systems in which symbioses are key (everywhere?!). Cool model systems to study these too! https://t.co/bKfi2K5Dq2
