Results

3.1. 

Each Sampling Site is Dominated by a Single Aedes Species

This study focuses on analyzing the eukaryotic virome of the Aedes mosquito from four regions in southwestern Cameroon. In 2020, a total of 398 Aedes mosquitoes were captured from Bafoussam (n = 101), Edea (n = 96), Buea (n = 96) and Yaounde (n = 105) (Figure 1). Analyses of the mosquito distribution revealed that, Ae. albopictus species predominated in Edea, Buea, and Yaounde, while Ae. africanus was the most prevalent in Bafoussam. Small numbers of Ae. simpsoni were also captured, co-existing in regions predominated by Ae. albopictus. Only a single Ae. aegypti mosquito was captured in Edea (Figure 1).

Error in Figure 1 Legend

In the original publication, there was a mistake in the figure legend as published.

Pink regions represent Equatorial monsoon zones and Blue regions represent Equatorial mountain monsoon zones. The corrected figure legend, Pink regions represent Equatorial mountain monsoon zones and blue regions represent Equatorial monsoon zones, appears above. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Error in Figure 6 Text Language

In the original publication, there was a mistake in the text language in the figure as published. The text in the figure is in non-English. The corrected text language in the figure appears below. The text in the figure is in English. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor.

Figure 6. Read count of eukaryotic viral species on log2 scale. BLASTx percent identity to the most closely related reference sequence is shown in the shaded blue boxes. The virus name in green is the only virus species found in both Aedes species. Viruses in red were selected for qRT-PCR analysis, and the abbreviations of novel viruses with near-complete genomes (BLASTx < 90%) are shown within brackets.
