Innate Immune Antagonism of Mosquito-Borne Flaviviruses in Humans and Mosquitoes

Mosquito-borne viruses of the <i>Flavivirus</i> genus (<i>Flaviviridae</i> family) pose an ongoing threat to global public health. For example, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile, yellow fever, and Zika viruses are transmitted by infected mosquitoes and cause severe and...
