Article Synopsis
- * This study utilized metagenomic sequencing to analyze mosquito samples collected from Yellow fever outbreaks in Nigeria between 2017 and 2020, focusing on Aedes and Anopheles species.
- * A total of seven distinct viruses were identified, expanding the understanding of insect-specific viruses (ISVs) and their potential link to pathogenic viruses, demonstrating the effectiveness of advanced sequencing technology in virology research.
