Highly Sensitive Virome Characterization of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> and <i>Culex pipiens</i> Complex from Central Europe and the Caribbean Reveals Potential for Interspecies Viral Transmission

Highly Sensitive Virome Characterization of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> and <i>Culex pipiens</i> Complex from Central Europe and the Caribbean Reveals Potential for Interspecies Viral Transmission

Mosquitoes are the most important vectors for arthropod-borne viral diseases. Mixed viral infections of mosquitoes allow genetic recombination or reassortment of diverse viruses, turning mosquitoes into potential virologic mixing bowls. In this study, we field-collected mosquitoes of different speci...
