An in vivo transfection approach elucidates a role for Aedes aegypti thioester-containing proteins in flaviviral infection.
Mosquitoes transmit pathogens that cause infectious diseases of global importance. Techniques to easily introduce genes into mosquitoes, however, limit investigations of the interaction between microbes and their arthropod vectors. We now show that a cationic liposome significantly enhances delivery...
