Abstract

Dengue virus (dug fever) is a mosquito-transmitted virus that is endemic in the tropics and subtropics, where it causes a huge disease burden. Among other things, due to climate change, mosquitoes of the genus Aedes are spreading further and further in the northern direction, and with that Dengue Virus is in danger of reaching Europe. In this project, the researchers study the interactions between virus and mosquito, to make new strategies possible that prevent virus spreading.
