Many blood-feeding arthropods are known vectors of viruses that a source unprecedented global health concern. Mosquitoes an integral part these arthropod vectors. Advancements in next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics has expanded our knowledge on the richness harbored by arthropods. In present study, we applied metagenomic approach to determine intercontinental virome diversity Culex quinquefasciatus tritaeniorhynchus Kwale, Kenya provinces Hubei Yunnan China. Our results showed...

Aedes mosquitoes can efficiently transmit many pathogenic arboviruses, placing a great burden on public health worldwide. In addition, they also carry number of insect-specific viruses (ISVs), and it was recently suggested that some these ISVs might form stable species-specific "core virome" in mosquito populations. However, little is known about such core virome laboratory colonies if present across different developmental stages. this study, we compared the viromes eggs, larvae, pupae,...

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as an effective environmental surveillance tool in monitoring fecal-oral pathogen infections within a community. Congruently, SARS-CoV-2, the etiologic agent of COVID-19, been demonstrated to infect gastrointestinal tissues, and be shed feces. In present study, SARS-CoV-2 RNA was concentrated from wastewater, sludge, surface water, ground sediment, soil samples municipal hospital wastewater systems related environments Wuhan during COVID-19...

Abstract Mosquito-borne viruses such as Zika virus, Japanese Encephalitis virus and Dengue present an increasing global health concern. However, in-depth knowledge of the distribution diversity mosquito-associated their related vectors remains limited, especially for China. To promote understanding, we first comprehensive dataset these in China (including Taiwan, Hong Kong Macau). Data was drawn from peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers thesis publications both English Chinese....

Banna virus (BAV) is considered to be an emerging human pathogen that transmitted by blood-sucking insects. BAV was isolated from various species of mosquitoes, midges, and livestock. It widely distributed geographically, since it identified in China, Vietnam, Indonesia. Previously reported evolution studies indicated can divided into two groups, including isolates China Vietnam clustered group A, Indonesian B. In this study, we report the isolation a new strain named HB14-71-01 Anopheles...

In recent years, rapidly increasing trade and travel across the China-Kazakhstan border has increased potential risk of introduction exportation vectors their related diseases. The Ebinur Lake Nature Reserve is located in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, near border, with a suitable ecosystem for mosquito breeding. our previous work, novel Orthobunyavirus species named virus (EBIV) was isolated reserve. To gain insights into EBIV this region, we conducted study that aimed to clearly outline...

Orthobunyaviruses are a group of viruses with significant public and veterinary health importance. These mainly transmitted through mosquito-, midge-, tick-vectors, endemic to various regions the world. Ebinur Lake virus (EBIV), newly identified member Orthobunyavirus , was isolated from Culex mosquitoes in Northwest China. In present study, we aimed characterize pathogenesis host immune responses EBIV BALB/c mice, as an animal model. Herein, determined that mice highly susceptible...

Abstract Arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) and arthropod-specific (ASV) are viruses circulating amongst hematophagous arthropods that broadly transmitted in ecological systems. Arbovirus may replicate both vertebrates invertebrates some known to be pathogenic animals or humans. ASV only invertebrate yet they basal many types of arboviruses. We built a comprehensive dataset arbovirus by curating globally available data from the Catalog, list Section VIII-F Biosafety Microbiological Biomedical...

Globally, mosquitoes are known to be competent vectors various arboviruses that cause serious and debilitating diseases humans animals. Conversely, harbor a wide array of insect specific viruses (ISVs) generally neglected. Extensive characterization these ISVs is important in understanding their persistence infection effect on host behavior arbovirus transmission. Herein, we report first time isolation Tanay virus (TANAV) isolate YN15_103_01 Anopheles sinensis from Yunnan Province, China....

Mosquitoes are known vectors that can harbor a wide array of viruses range from classical arboviruses infect vertebrates to insect-specific restricted only in mosquito. Recent advances the field metagenomics and bioinformatics have strongly supported studies on mosquito-associated viruses. However, study for mosquito virome profile is still inadequate. In present study, we aimed investigate compare structure between laboratory reared wild-caught Aedes albopictus Four samples (egg, larvae,...

Abstract Mosquitoes are vectors of numerous emergence and reemergence mosquito-borne diseases, leading to an overwhelming global challenge. The boom in metagenomic studies promoted the increase mosquito viruses being described, from different regions world showed that mosquitoes harbor abundant diverse viromes. However, there is still a lack large-scale systematic comparison viromes among various ecological factors such as species/genera, location, etc, consistent patterns associated with...
