The holobiont concept was first developed for coral ecosystems but has been extended to
multiple organisms, including plants and other animals. Studies on insect-associated …

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 …

Microbial interactions are an underappreciated force in shaping insect microbiome
communities. Although pairwise patterns of symbiont interactions have been identified, we …

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

Mosquitoes host communities of microbes in their digestive tract that consist primarily of
bacteria. We previously reported that several mosquito species, including Aedes aegypti, do …

Vector‐borne diseases are a major health burden, yet factors affecting their spread are only
partially understood. For example, microbial symbionts can impact mosquito reproduction …

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

An estimated 3500 species of mosquitoes (family Culicidae) exist worldwide of which
several are known vectors of pathogens that cause disease in humans and other …

Gut microbial communities of mosquitoes can influence vector susceptibility to pathogens,
yet the factors that govern their composition remain poorly understood. We investigated the …
