Host inflammatory response to mosquito bites enhances the severity of arbovirus infection

In this study, we identified key aspects of mosquito bite inflammation that are important determinants of the subsequent systemic course and clinical outcome of infection. As such, host responses to mosquito saliva may prove to be a predictor of subsequent disease severity and consequently could also be useful in risk‐stratifying blood products.
