Microbial interactions in the mosquito gut determine Serratia colonization and blood-feeding propensity
7 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
How microbe-microbe interactions dictate microbial complexity in the mosquito gut is unclear. Previously we found that, Serratia, a gut symbiont that alters vector competence and is being considered for vector control, poorly colonized Aedes aegypti yet was abundant in Culex quinquefasciatus reared under identical conditions. To investigate the incompatibility between Serratia and Ae. aegypti, we characterized...
