| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Blood-sucking arthropods, such as mosquitoes and ticks, have been studied as vectors of pathogens, including zoonotic viruses.
In this study, we examined especially endogenous viruses in ticks and mosquitoes and investigated their roles in nature under the “dance floor” hypothesis; in blood-sucking arthropods, their indigenous microorganisms and those from human or animal blood are communicating each other.
As a result, we have discovered new endogenous viruses in the mosquitoes and ticks collected worldwide and found that these viruses may have co-evolved with their hosts.
