The skin is the first battlefield against mosquito-borne viruses. Some mosquito salivary components may weaken antiviral warning signals, while others reshape the lipid environment of skin cells. flavivaccine.eu/news-release...

What happens in the skin during the first moments after a mosquito bite? Mosquito saliva can carry viral RNA and lipids that influence the body’s earliest antiviral defences. Learn more about the #FLAVIVACCINE project flavivaccine.eu/news-release...

Mosquito saliva contains tiny membrane-bound particles known as extracellular vesicles, or EVs. These microscopic packages can carry proteins, lipids and genetic material and may influence the environment in which flavivirus infection begins. #FLAVIVACCINE flavivaccine.eu/news-release...

What if the infection can be stopped as soon as the mosquito bites? #FLAVIVACCINE is exploring a different way of thinking about prevention. Our project investigates whether saliva components could help inform innovative vaccine strategies. flavivaccine.eu/news-release...
