Discovery of a Novel Coltivirus in a Newly Identified Bat Bug Species (Heteroptera: Cimicidae) in Cambodia

This study identifies a novel coltivirus in a new bat bug species from Cambodia, highlighting the role of bat ectoparasites as potential reservoirs of zoonotic viruses.

Spatiotemporal factors shape mosquito virus diversity and virome composition in a host and virus-dependent manner

The paper examines how host and ecological factors shape mosquito virome diversity and composition across different regions and time periods.

Decoding rRNA Sequences for Improved Metagenomics in Sylvatic Mosquito Species

The paper develops rRNA sequences for 33 medically important mosquito species to improve metagenomics and species identification in mosquito-borne virus surveillance.

Genetic and microbial diversity of the invasive mosquito vector species Culex tritaeniorhynchus across its extensive inter-continental geographic range

This study examines genetic and microbial diversity of Culex tritaeniorhynchus across multiple continents, finding high genetic and microbial variation and evidence of Wolbachia and insect-specific viruses.

A new high-throughput tool to screen mosquito-borne viruses in Zika virus endemic/epidemic areas

The paper introduces a high-throughput tool to detect arboviruses in mosquitoes from Zika-endemic regions, showing its effectiveness in identifying circulating viruses.
