An All‐in‐One Metabarcoding Approach to Mosquito and Arbovirus Xenosurveillance

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has the potential to transform mosquito‐borne disease surveillance but remains under‐utilised. This study introduces a comprehensive multi‐loci metabarcoding‐based MX (molecular xenomonitoring) approach to mosquito and arbovirus surveillance, enabling parallel identification of mosquito vectors, circulating ...
