Full description Arboviruses such as chikungunya (CHIKV) and Ross River virus (RRV) are a global problem and can cause severe systemic disease. They are transmitted via mosquito bites to the skin and disseminate through the body. How this happens and how the immune system responds, remains unknown, because there is no experimental model of arboviral skin infection. We have developed an advanced skin infection model, and aim to investigate how the skin's immune system shapes the outcome of arboviral infection.
