Profiling of RNA viruses in biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) and related Diptera from Kenya using metagenomics and metabarcoding analysis

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) cause enormous health burden worldwide, as they account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases and over 700,000 deaths each year. A significant number of these VBDs are caused by RNA virus pathogens. Here, we used metagenomics and metabarcoding analysis to characte...
