Diversity and evolutionary analysis of viruses carried by mosquitoes in Shandong, China
Ten viruses, including two novel ones, were found in a study performed on mosquitoes in Shandong, China. It shows viral diversity and coexistence in different species, highlighting host impact on viral communities. The new viruses are prevalent locally, with infection rates of 0.38% and 0.16%. This work advances viral ecology understanding and has public health significance. This study sheds light on the circulation of the identified viruses in Shandong.
