- •
Natural viruses of Anopheles species mosquitoes remain understudied relative to those of other mosquitoes.
- •
Anopheles species mosquitoes are vectors of serious human diseases, and it is important to understand the viruses that may alter their physiology and ability to transmit disease.
- •
We used metagenomic sequencing to identify viruses in adult Anopheles mosquitoes collected from Liberia, Senegal, and Burkina Faso.
- •
We characterized the sequences of several new viruses that apparently infect Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, including flaviviruses and mononegaviruses.
