Superior infectivity for mosquito vectors contributes to competitive displacement among strains of dengue virus

BACKGROUND: Competitive displacement of a weakly virulent pathogen strain by a more virulent strain is one route to disease emergence. However the mechanisms by which pathogens compete for access to hosts are poorly understood. Among vector-borne pathogens, variation in the ability to infect vectors...
