Few vaccines against arboviruses exist; most for humans are in development or clinical trials. Insect-specific viruses (ISVs) offer a unique platform for expression of arbovirus proteins, through the creation of ISV/arbovirus chimeras. Studies have shown promising results of these vaccines with several advantages over their wild-type counterparts. In this review, we discuss the current status of these potential vaccines using ISVs." --- ### Uncovering the Worldwide Diversity and Evolution of the Virome of the Mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/9/8/1653/htm <img src="https://www.mdpi.com/microorganisms/microorganisms-09-01653/article_deploy/html/images/microorganisms-09-01653-g001.png" width="800px" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- ### Uncovering the Worldwide Diversity and Evolution of the Virome of the Mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus Utilizando información de bases de datos de RNA-Seq, se busca conocer la diversidad mundial y la evolución del viroma de los mosquitos *Aedes aegypti* y *Aedes albopictus* **Aplicación**: Los virus específicos de insectos pueden utilizarse para generar vacunas contra virus que acarrean los mosquitos --- # Pipeline <img src="./imgs/contexto/pipeline.png" width="400px" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> --- # Pipeline <img src="./imgs/contexto/pipeline2.png" width="800px" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> ---
