Extended Data Fig. 2: Airborne DNA for surveillance of disease vectors & pests.

a) Mosquito genus-level detection from short-read shotgun sequenced 1-week-long outdoor air samples from the Florida forest (FOR) and Whitney Lab (WL) sites. X-axis is taxon nucleotides per million reads sequenced (nt_rpm). Left: Anopheles genus. Right: the other five mosquito genera detected in at least one air eDNA sample. b) Culicoides (biting midge) genus-level eDNA quantification (nt_rpm) from Illumina short-read sequenced 1-week-long outdoor air samples from the Florida forest (FOR) and Whitney Lab (WL) sites. c) Aligned read counts of short-read shotgun sequencing reads for human-associated mammals, including rats and mice, across the Dublin City July 2023, Meath estuary July 2023, Wicklow mountain July 2023, Wicklow Avoca River (water), and Florida forest April 2023 sampling locations. The y-axis lists both the common and Latin names for each species.
