Article Synopsis
- Researchers isolated and studied a new insect nidovirus from the mosquito species Culex tritaeniorhynchus in Vietnam, naming it Dak Nong virus (DKNV).
- DKNV is part of the newly identified family Mesoniviridae and shares similarities with other recently found viruses, suggesting they should be grouped as a single species called Alphamesonivirus 1.
- The virus can grow in mosquito cells but not in vertebrate cells, and its structural proteins showed specific features that enhance our understanding of the Mesoniviridae family.
