Abstract

We report the complete CDS of five viruses: an iflavirus, a protoambidensovirus and three microviruses),which were detected by viromics surveillance of mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus) from the Reunion Island. We detected the protoambidensovirus, which belongs to aclade previously reported only in C. pipiens, in A. albopictus.
