Researchers have uncovered how the dengue virus uses its envelope protein to hijack human plasmin to enhance transmission.

Biological scientists have uncovered how the dengue virus uses its envelope protein to capture human plasmin from a blood meal to enhance the permeability of the mosquito midgut for infection.

(A) A person is infected with the dengue virus when an infected mosquito bites the person’s skin. (B) The dengue virus infects the Langerhans cells, a type of dendritic cell in the skin.
