Drosophila melanogaster as a translational in vivo platform for modeling Zika virus infection: From experimental approaches to biological discovery.
Zika virus (ZIKV) remains a significant global health concern owing to its association with congenital abnormalities and neurological disease. Although mammalian models have provided important insights into ZIKV biology, complementary systems are needed to enable rapid mechanistic studies and high-throughput genetic an...
