Temperature differences between mosquitoes and humans trigger structural changes in dengue virus 2 (DENV2) particles, but not in other DENV serotypes. Here, using HDXMS, the authors describe serotype-specific expansion of intact viral particles of DENV1 and DENV2 at 28 °C (mosquitoes), 37 °C (humans) and 40 °C (fever).
