  abstract = {{T}o generate the most diverse phylogenetic dataset for the flaviviruses to date, we determined the genomic sequences and phylogenetic relationships of 14 flaviviruses, of which 10 are primarily associated with {C}ulex spp. mosquitoes. {W}e analyze these data, in conjunction with a comprehensive collection of flavivirus genomes, to characterize flavivirus evolutionary and biogeographic history in unprecedented detail and breadth. {B}ased on the presumed introduction of yellow fever virus into the {A}mericas via the transatlantic slave trade, we extrapolated a timescale for a relevant subset of flaviviruses whose evolutionary history, shows that different {C}ulex-spp. associated flaviviruses have been introduced from the {O}ld {W}orld to the {N}ew {W}orld on at least five separate occasions, with 2 different sets of factors likely to have contributed to the dispersal of the different viruses. {W}e also discuss the significance of programmed ribosomal frameshifting in a central region of the polyprotein open reading frame in some mosquito-associated flaviviruses.},
