Key Points

The research aims to explore furin as a potential antiviral target in mosquitoes to combat virus transmission.
Identifying host factors in mosquitoes
Characterizing the role of furin in viral processes
Developing strategies for antiviral intervention
Furin is identified as a key factor in the transmission of mosquito-borne viruses.
Targeting furin may reduce the prevalence of arboviruses.
Interventions could lead to new methods in controlling virus spread.

Abstract

Identifying and characterizing host factors from mosquitoes as antiviral targets is a complementary step towards developing new strategies to combat arbovirus transmission and address the ongoing global health challenge.
