Evolutionary enhancement of Zika virus infectivity in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

A mutation that increases the secretion of Zika virus non-structural protein 1 (NS1) in infected hosts enhances the ability of the virus to infect its mosquito vector Aedes aegypti and might have contributed to the recent Zika epidemic. Mutation enhances Zika infectivity in mosquitoes Several flaviv...
