BACKGROUND: Hainan Island and the Leizhou Peninsula, the southernmost part of mainland China, are areas where Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are sympatric and are also high-incidence areas of dengue outbreaks in China. Many studies have suggested that Aedes endogenous viral components (EVEs) are enriched in piRNA clusters which can silence incoming viral genomes. Investigation the EVEs present in the piRNA...
