Pre-existing QBV infection in mosquito (C6/36) cells significantly reduced subsequent dengue and West Nile virus replication — classic superinfection exclusion.

Phylogenetic analysis shows that QBV from Singapore groups together with Southeast Asian strains. Interestingly, QBV isolates from Cx. gelidus were phylogenetically distinct from those derived from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus! But wait, there's more...

QBV, an insect-specific flavivirus, was detected in multiple locations across Singapore. However, we consistently detected it in a northern nature reserve (Kranji Marshes) across 12 months. Stable local establishment? We think so!

Over 18 months, we screened 17,070 🦟mosquitoes across 17 locations in Singapore, uncovering 🦠viruses that could shape future biocontrol strategies against dengue and other arboviruses!
