The Incompetence of Mosquitoes—Can Zika Virus Be Adapted To Infect Culex tarsalis Cells?

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: cells, suggesting adaptation to those cells instead. These results reveal that arbovirus species specificity is complex, and that virus adaptation to a new genus of mosquito vectors likely requires multiple genetic changes.
