🦟How do bunyaviruses spread via mosquitoes? A new study shows the NSm protein is key. NSm helps the virus move cell-to-cell in the mosquito midgut, a crucial step for transmission. Without it, infection fails. More: gla.ac.uk/research/az/cv… Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Exposure of negative-sense viral RNA in the cytoplasm initiates innate immunity to #WestNile virus. Negative-sense viral RNA is ligand for RIG-I. −ssvRNA accumulates outside of viral replication compartments & helps to initiate innate immunity. cell.com/molecular-cell…
