Defining virus-carrier networks that shape the composition of the mosquito core virome of a local ecosystem

Abstract excerpt

Mosquitoes are the most important vectors of emerging infectious diseases. During the past decade, our understanding of the diversity of viruses they carry has greatly expanded. Most of these viruses are considered mosquito-specific, but there is increasing evidence that these viruses may affect the vector competence of mosquitoes. Metagenomics approaches have focused on specific mosquito species for the...
