Abstract:
Fundamental knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying virus transmission by arthropods is a prerequisite for the creation of new strategies to modulate vector competence. There have been several recent advances in identifying the viral and vector determinants involved in virus recognition, attachment and retention.
