Discussion

Analysis reveals diverse virome in mosquitoes, indicating distinct ecological roles and highlighting the absence of arboviruses.

Diverse viral communities identified in mosquitoes, lacking medically relevant arboviruses.
A total of 168 viral species detected, encompassing 68 genera and 22 families.
Characterization involved metagenomic profiling of 147 mosquitoes from two ecosystems.
Findings underscore the ecological significance of insect-specific viruses in pathogen dynamics.

Gómez‐Palacio et al. (2025) studied this question.
