Profiling of RNA Viruses in Biting Midges ( <i>Ceratopogonidae</i> ) and Related Diptera from Kenya Using Metagenomics and Metabarcoding Analysis
Abstract
The majority of the viruses that currently cause diseases in humans and animals are RNA viruses, and more specifically arthropod-transmitted viruses. They cause diseases such as dengue, West Nile infection, bluetongue disease, Schmallenberg disease, and yellow fever, among others.
