Arbovirus detection in insect vectors by rapid, high-throughput pyrosequencing.

BACKGROUND: Despite the global threat caused by arthropod-borne viruses, there is not an efficient method for screening vector populations to detect novel viral sequences. Current viral detection and surveillance methods based on culture can be costly and time consuming and are predicated on prior k...
