Antiviral sugar baits to reduce arbovirus transmission: a proof-of-concept study
Dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) remain major global health threats, yet approved antiviral therapies are lacking. Antiviral sugar baits (AVSBs) represent a novel transmission-blocking strategy that exploits the natural sugar-feeding behaviour of mosquitoes to deliver antiviral compounds directly to th...
