Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify viruses contained in female Ae. albopictus mosquitoes using de novo metagenomic sequencing. Mosquitoes were collected using standard entomological methods in August 2019 in the Kuban in Tuapse, Adler, on the territory of the Adler Monkey Nursery and in the city of Gagra, Abkhazia. Adults were identified by morphological characteristics. A total of 1,336 mosquitoes were caught. We formed four pools at the collection site, with 300 to 400 specimens in each. The virus was considered detected if a specific nucleotide sequence of at least 1000 bases was detected in the mosquito sample. A total of 8 insect viruses were identified. Four viruses are classified and belong to the families Rhabdoviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Chuviridae. The families of the other four viruses have not yet been determined, but two viruses are classified in the order Bunyavirales. No viruses pathogenic for humans were detected.
