Researchers use two techniques—Wolbachia infection and irradiation—to suppress reproduction in populations of Asian tiger mosquitoes at two study sites in China.

Children were 38 percent less likely to show signs of Zika infection if they had previously had dengue.

Climate change may open up new habitats suitable for the virus’s spread.

The drugs’ disruption of the microbiome makes a subsequent flavivirus infection more severe.

The drug may worsen future infections for people who haven't already been exposed to the virus.

A single receptor on natural killer cells recognizes an amino acid sequence conserved across Zika, dengue, and related pathogens.

The US government has approved the deployment of the lab-raised insects to eliminate the Zika- and dengue-transmitting Asian tiger mosquito.

The EPA is now in charge of regulating the use of Oxitec’s strain of Aedes aegypti, genetically engineered to reduce populations of the insects.

Mice receiving the treatment produced their own monoclonal antibodies and survived infection with the life-threatening pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
