Effects of latent infection with the insect virus in mosquitoes or propagation and prevalence of the mosquito borne virus

在本研究中，我们研究了野生蚊子潜伏感染昆虫特异性黄病毒对蚊媒黄病毒复制和传播的影响。蚊媒黄病毒的生长特性随昆虫特异性黄病毒的存在与否而变化。提示虫媒黄病毒潜伏感染可能影响蚊媒黄病毒的传播、生态学和流行病学。

In this study, we investigated the effects of latent infections with insect-specific flaviviruses in wild mosquitoes on replication and propagation of mosquito-borne flaviviruses. Growth properties of the mosquito-borne flavivirus varied depending on the presence or absence of the insect-specific flavivirus. This result suggested that latent infections with insect-specific flaviviruses might affect the transmission, ecology, and epidemiology of mosquito-borne flaviviruses.
