Estimating the effects of variation in viremia on mosquito susceptibility, infectiousness, and R(0) of Zika in Aedes aegypti

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Like most viral infections, ZIKV viremia varies over several orders of magnitude, with unknown consequences for transmission. To determine the effect of viral concentration on ZIKV transmission risk, we exposed field-derive...
