Discovery of DNA Viruses in Wild-Caught Mosquitoes Using Small RNA High throughput Sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mosquito-borne infectious diseases pose a severe threat to public health in many areas of the world. Current methods for pathogen detection and surveillance are usually dependent on prior knowledge of the etiologic agents involved. Hence, efficient approaches are required for screening wild mosquito populations to detect known and unknown pathogens. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In this study, we...
