Ecology and transmission of a dengue virus serotype 4 identified in wild Aedes aegypti in Florida

J. B. Ayers, X. Xie, H. Coatsworth, C. J. Stephenson, C. M. Waits, P. Y. Shi, R. R. Dinglasan

This study identifies DENV-4 in Florida mosquitoes without human cases, shows it can infect mosquitoes and transmit vertically, suggesting undetected circulation and environmental maintenance.

Clustered Rapid Induction of Apoptosis Limits ZIKV and DENV-2 Proliferation in the Midguts of Aedes aegypti

J. B. Ayers, H. G. Coatsworth, S. Kang, R. R. Dinglasan, L. Zhou

The paper shows that rapid apoptosis in Aedes aegypti midgut cells limits DENV-2 and ZIKV proliferation, suggesting apoptosis as an antiviral defense mechanism.
