The mosquito microbiome includes habitat-specific but rare symbionts

Abstract excerpt

Microbial communities are known to influence mosquito lifestyles by modifying essential metabolic and behavioral processes that affect reproduction, development, immunity, digestion, egg survival, and the ability to transmit pathogens.
