This study examines how varying doses of bacteria and arboviruses affect Aedes aegypti survival, finding that oral bacterial infection enhances defensive capacity and that Zika virus causes greater mortality than Dengue virus.

This study identifies HPx1, a heme-induced peroxidase in Aedes aegypti, which regulates the peritrophic matrix and influences vector competence for arboviruses by modulating ROS and microbiota.

This study investigates how midgut cell proliferation in Aedes aegypti affects susceptibility to dengue virus, showing that regenerative responses and Delta/Notch signaling influence vector competence.
