Lipid raft protein Flotillin 2 facilitates alphavirus infection through promoting viral release.

Alphaviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts via hematophagous arthropod vectors, posing major public health challenges, yet the mechanisms by which they infect vector mosquitoes remain unclear. In this study, we utilized the Sindbis virus (SINV), a model alphavirus, to investigate the infection processes in mosqui...
