ITHACA, New York, Sept. 24 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
A study in fruit flies reveals how viruses travel through an insect to infect a host with a bite, findings that advance fundamental understanding of the processes and machinery that underlie how insects, such as mosquitoes, act as viral disease vectors.
By understanding the interactions and genes involved in a virus' movement through an insect, researchers may one day be able to block an insect . . .
