- The Asian tiger mosquito can spread diseases like dengue virus, and a special enzyme called ADA helps it do that when it feeds on blood.

- The study showed that ADA affects how the mosquito's immune cells react, making some immune responses stronger while weakening others, which might help the dengue virus replicate.
