Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an unpredictable condition that is commonly encountered in neonatal intensive care units. NEC considered one of the most severe gastrointestinal diseases affecting preterm infants and is often fatal. In this study, we performed a genomic analysi...

Multiple orthoflaviviruses secrete sfRNA in mosquito saliva to promote transmission by inhibiting MDA5-mediated early interferon response

Abstract Numerous orthoflaviviruses transmitted through the bites of different mosquito species infect more than 500 million people annually. Skin infection at the bite site represents a critical and conserved step in transmission and a deeper understanding of this process will p...
