unraveling molecular mechanisms
of arbovirus transmission
'arbo| from arthropod-borne: transmitted by an arthropod species such as a mosquito or tick
Mosquito
What makes mosquitoes so efficient in transmitting arboviruses? We address this intriguing question in two important mosquito species:
Aedes aegypti
The yellow fever mosquito
Aedes albopictus
The Asian tiger mosquito
Virus
Mosquito-transmitted viruses
shuttle between vertebrate and insect hosts. How do these viruses manage this challenging life cycle?
To understand this, we study major epidemic arboviruses.
Dengue virus
Zika virus
Chikungunya virus
Molecule
How do mosquito-transmitted viruses and their hosts interact at the molecular level and how do these processes finally shape transmission? We are especially fascinated by the role of
Mosquito immunity
Mosquito (epi-)genetics
Metabolic responses to infection
