title: Isolation of potosi virus from Aedes albopictus in North Carolina.
abstract: A total of 4,169 adult mosquitoes were aspirated from 3 tire disposal sites in North Carolina for virus assays. Aedes albopictus was the dominant species, with a relative abundance of approximately 99%. Potosi virus was isolated from one pool of 68 female Ae. albopictus. Priorities for future Potosi virus research and the implications of the North Carolina isolate are discussed.
