The overall goal of this project is to obtain an understanding of how certain insect-only viruses make mosquitoes incapable of transmitting diseases. These viruses, called insect-specific flaviviruses, can be employed as biocontrol agents for mosquito-borne human and veterinary diseases. However as it is currently unknown how exactly they affect mosquitoes, the safety and efficacy of their use can't be predicted. The proposed project will dissect the very intricate mechanisms of interactions between insect-specific flaviviruses and mosquitoes and explain how exactly they prevent disease transmission. It should generate novel fundamental knowledge, implement innovative methodologies and provide training for students and junior scientist.

该项目的总体目标是了解某些昆虫病毒如何使蚊子无法传播疾病。这些病毒被称为昆虫特异性黄病毒，可用作蚊媒人类和兽医疾病的生物防治剂。然而，由于目前尚不清楚它们究竟如何影响蚊子，因此无法预测其使用的安全性和有效性。拟议的项目将剖析昆虫特异性黄病毒和蚊子之间非常复杂的相互作用机制，并解释它们如何确切地防止疾病传播。它应产生新的基本知识，实施创新方法，并为学生和青年科学家提供培训。
