TL;DR
This paper reports the full genome of a new Aedes flavivirus strain from mosquitoes in Northern Italy, highlighting its genetic diversity and possible global spread.
Contribution
The study provides the complete coding sequence of a novel Aedes flavivirus strain from Italy.
Findings
Italian Aedes flavivirus strains show genetic diversity.
High genome similarity across distant regions suggests long-distance spread via invasive mosquitoes.
Abstract
Complete genome data for the globally distributed Aedes flavivirus (AEFV) is scarce. We analyzed a new Italian AEFV strain isolated from Aedes albopictus. The results demonstrated genetic diversity among Italian AEFVs. The high similarity between AEFV genomes across geographically distant regions suggests long distance spreading via invasive host mosquito species.
