NIRVS arise from the reverse transcription of viral RNA into cDNA and its integration into the genome of a host germ cell, followed by vertical transmission to offspring (Katzourakis and Gifford 2010) . Yet recent evidence has highlighted the abundance of NIRVS in some arthropod genomes-e.g., Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus contain >100 NIRVS from over eight RNA virus families encompassing þssRNA, ÀssRNA, and dsRNA viral groups (Palatini et al. Using the well-studied genomes of Aedes mosquitoes to validate our analysis, we employed a bioinformatic pipeline to characterise NIRVS in seven non-Aedes arbovirus vectors that have representative genomic sequences (Table 1 and Fig. 1 ). scapularis lacked NIRVS from positive-sense RNA viruses, which comprise about one tenth of NIRVS in Aedes mosquitoes ( Fig. 3; Supplementary Table S2 ). ./cache/cord-003707-fbe47bgi.txt ./txt/cord-003707-fbe47bgi.txt
