Some well known pathogens that trigger inflammation include mycoplasma pneumonia, herpes and dengue viruses, and schistosomiasis, which is a parasitic disease.

一些已知的引起炎症的因素包括支原体肺炎、疱疹与登革热病毒、以及由寄生虫引起的血吸虫病等。

It also reduces mosquitoes' ability to catch the dengue virus, or the malarial parasite; and it kills both pathogens in the lab.

而且该色素细菌还可以降低感染登革热病毒或疟疾寄生虫的能力。在实验室中还它们还杀死了2种病毒的病原体。

So even if the mosquitoes bite people infected with, say, the Dengue virus, the virus wouldn’t survive inside the mosquito long enough to be transmitted to a new person.

因此，即使蚊子叮咬感染了登革病毒等病毒的人，该病毒也不会在蚊子体内存活足够长的时间， 无法传染给新的人。

To help make sure that it’s only Zika virus that’s causing this sort of damage, the scientists ran a third set of experiments: they compared neural stem cells infected with Zika to cells infected with dengue virus 2.

为了帮助确保造成这种损害的只是寨卡病毒，科学家们进行了第三组实验：他们将感染寨卡病毒的神经干细胞与感染登革热病毒 2 的细胞进行了比较。
