Abstract

RNA viromes of nine commonly encountered mosquito species collected around Finland in 2015 and 2017 were studied using next-generation sequencing. Mosquito homogenates were sequenced from 91 pools comprising 16-60 morphologically identified adult females of , , , , , , , and /. In total 514 viral Reverse dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) sequences of 159 virus species were recovered, belonging to 25 families or equivalent rank, as follows: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . Of these, 147 are tentatively novel viruses. One sequence of , which causes Pogosta disease in humans, was detected from from Pohjois-Karjala. This study greatly increases the number of mosquito-associated viruses known from Finland and presents the northern-most mosquito-associated viruses in Europe to date.
