Abstract:
Arboviral acquisition is a critical step in virus transmission. In this review, we present an overview of the interactions between viruses and host blood-derived factors, highlighting the diverse ways in which they interact. Moreover, the review outlines the impact of host blood on gut barriers during viral acquisition, emphasizing the crucial role of this physiological process in virus dissemination. Additionally, the review investigates the responses of symbioses to invading arboviruses, providing insights into the dynamic reactions of these vital relationships to the presence of arboviruses.
