Infection via mosquito bite alters Zika virus tissue tropism and replication kinetics in rhesus macaques

Vector saliva can affect infectivity and pathogenesis of vector-borne viruses, but this hasn’t been studied for Zika virus infection. Here, Dudley et al. show that mosquito-mediated Zika infection of macaques results in altered replication kinetics and greater sequence heterogeneity.
