Mosquito-transmitted diseases account for about 500 000 deaths every year. Blocking these
pathogens in the mosquito vector before they are transmitted to humans is an effective …

Aedes spp. are a major public health concern due to their ability to be efficient vectors of
dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and other arboviruses. With limited vaccines available and no …

Insects are the most diverse group of animals and colonize almost all environments on our
planet. This diversity is reflected in the structure and function of the microbial communities …

Mosquito-borne diseases present a significant threat to human health, with the possibility of
outbreaks of new mosquito-borne diseases always looming. Unfortunately, current …

Virtually all organisms are colonized by microbes. Average temperatures are rising because
of global climate change–accompanied by increases in extreme climatic events and heat …

The mosquito microbiota can influence host physiology and vector competence, but a
detailed understanding of these processes is lacking. Here we found that the gut microbiota …

Microbiome research has gained considerable interest due to the emerging evidence of its
impact on human and animal health. As in other animals, the gut-associated microbiota of …

Mosquitoes shift from detritus-feeding larvae to blood-feeding adults that can vector
pathogens to humans and other vertebrates. The sugar and blood meals adults consume …

We previously determined that several diets used to rear Aedes aegypti and other mosquito
species support the development of larvae with a gut microbiota but do not support the …

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 …
