Multiple bloodmeals enhance dissemination of arboviruses in three medically relevant mosquito genera
Taken together, our findings show that sequential blood feeding enhances virus dissemination across diverse arbovirus-vector pairings, representing three mosquito genera and virus families, but a second BM was insufficient to overcome a strong midgut virus escape barrier in a nonnatural virus-vector pairing.
