Understanding how midgut microbial communities of field‐collected mosquitoes interact with
pathogens is critical for controlling vector infection and disease. We used 16S rRNA and …

During their immature life stages, malaria mosquitoes are exposed to a wide array of
microbes and contaminants from the aquatic habitats. Although prior studies have …

Dengue virus is one of the most important arboviral pathogens and the causative agent of
dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome. It is transmitted …

Mosquito-borne diseases cause more than 700 million people infected and one million
people die. With the limitations of progress toward elimination imposed by insecticide-and …

Background Aedes aegypti and A. atropalpus are related mosquitoes that differ
reproductively. Aedes aegypti must blood-feed to produce eggs (anautogenous) while A …

The mosquito microbiota impacts the physiology of its host and is essential for normal larval
development, thereby influencing transmission of vector-borne pathogens. Germ-free …

Mosquito-borne arboviruses are increasing due to human disturbances of natural
ecosystems and globalization of trade and travel. These anthropic changes may affect …

Background The composition and structure of microbial communities that inhabit the
mosquito midguts are poorly understood despite their well-documented potential to impede …

Mosquito-borne diseases are a major burden on human health worldwide and their
eradication through vector control methods remains challenging. In particular, the success of …

Mosquitoes transmit numerous arboviruses including dengue and chikungunya virus
(CHIKV). In recent years, mosquito species Aedes albopictus has expanded in the Indian …
