Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Large-Scale Changes in Axenic Aedes aegypti Larvae
6 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Mosquitoes host communities of microbes in their digestive tract that consist primarily of bacteria. We previously reported that Aedes aegypti larvae colonized by a native community of bacteria and gnotobiotic larvae colonized by only Escherichia coli develop very similarly into adults, whereas axenic larvae never molt and die as first instars. In this study, we extended these findings by first comparing the...
