Introducing an environmental microbiome to axenic Aedes aegypti mosquitoes documents bacterial responses to a blood meal
28 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Axenic Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were colonized with bacteria from an environmental water source to compare the midgut microbiota acquired from the wild to the microbiome of insectary-reared mosquitoes, specifically over the course of blood meal digestion. 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that diversity, composition, and community turnover of the midgut microbiomes were distinct between the insectary and...
