A dataset of distribution and diversity of mosquito-associated viruses and their mosquito vectors in China.

ABSTRACT: Mosquito-borne viruses such as Zika virus, Japanese Encephalitis virus and Dengue virus present an increasing global health concern. However, in-depth knowledge of the distribution and diversity of mosquito-associated viruses and their related vectors remains limited, especially for China.
