ABSTRACT
There are a variety of viral pathogens that cause disease in mosquitoes with most belonging to three major groups. The most common viruses of mosquitoes are the baculoviruses (DBVs) (Baculoviridae Deltabaculovirus), cytoplasmic polyhedrosis viruses (CPVs) (Reoviridae Cypovirus) and the iridoviruses (MIVs) (Iridoviridae Chloriridovirus). Baculoviruses and iridoviruses are DNA viruses while cypoviruses are the main RNA viruses in mosquitoes. This review presents an overview of the current status and recent advancements in understanding the biology and molecular features of mosquito pathogenic viruses.
