Multifaceted functional implications of an endogenously expressed tRNA fragment in the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti.

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of human arboviral diseases caused by dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses.Many studies have shown the potential roles of small RNA molecules such as microRNA, small interfering RNA and PIWI-interacting RNA in vector mosquitoes.The function of tRNA fragments (tRF), the newly discovered class of small
