Can Antiviral Agents Help Immune Systems Fight Mosquito-Borne Dengue?
Can the dengue virus be prevented using antiviral agents such as antibiotics or vaccines? Before considering that step, University of Florida scientists are taking a closer look at whether mosquito immune systems can be influenced enough to fight the virus as a control method.
Host Immunity Drives Viral Evolution of Dengue
New research by a team of University of Florida investigators, and others, provides evidence that host immunity drives the evolution of the dengue virus.
