virome of field-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from coastal Kenya

Coastal Kenya experiences repeated outbreaks of CHIKV and DENV. In addition, mosquitoes have been reported to habor Insect Specific viruses (ISVs), some of which can modulate the transmission of medically important arboviruses. However, the viral diversity in mosquitoes from this region is unknown. This study used a metagenomics approach to characterize the RNA metavirome of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes collected from coastal Kenya
