  "summary": "Mosquito-borne virus transmission is increasing globally. Due to a lack of effective vaccines or targeted treatments, mitigation relies on reducing human exposure to infectious mosquitoes. Entomological surveillance provides estimates of human risk by quantifying the prevalence of arboviruses in mosquito populations. Testing of pooled mosquitoes via RT-qPCR is often used to infer infection…",
