  abstract = {{T}here has been an explosion in the discovery of 'insect-specific' flaviviruses and/or their related sequences in natural mosquito populations. {H}erein we review all 'insect-specific' flavivirus sequences currently available and conduct phylogenetic analyses of both the 'insect-specific' flaviviruses and available sequences of the entire genus {F}lavivirus. {W}e show that there is no statistical support for virus mosquito co-divergence, suggesting that the 'insect-specific' flaviviruses may have undergone multiple introductions with frequent host switching. {W}e discuss potential implications for the evolution of vectoring within the family {F}laviviridae. {W}e also provide preliminary evidence for potential recombination events in the history of cell fusing agent virus. {F}inally, we consider priorities and guidelines for future research on 'insect-specific' flaviviruses, including the vast potential that exists for the study of biodiversity within a range of potential hosts and vectors, and its effect on the emergence and maintenance of the flaviviruses.},
