Additional file 1: Table S1. Mosquito vectors associated with pathogens of human disease relevance. For each pathogen/disease (with abbreviation), species of mosquito that fall into five categories are listed. Wild infection are those that have been found to carry the virus during sampling of mosquitoes collected in nature, Lab infection are those who were positive for a virus after being offered an infectious blood meal, Lab Dissemination are those that showed replication of the virus in tissue (e.g., legs), Lab Transmit were those that could pass the pathogen on to a host under laboratory conditions (often to a non-human mammal), and Known Vectors were those that were considered to be a central species in maintaining the pathogen in nature and directly infecting humans. In all cases, we assumed species names were used as sensu stricto (e.g., Anopheles gambiae) based on the publications that listed them. We cannot know for sure in all cases as many publications did not list s.s. or s.l., but given the nature of those publications, we assumed they were s.s.
