The dynamics of the midgut microbiome in Aedes aegypti during digestion reveal putative symbionts
1 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Blood-feeding is crucial for the reproductive cycle of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, as well as for the transmission of arboviruses to hosts. It is postulated that blood meals may influence the mosquito microbiome but shifts in microbial diversity and function during digestion remain elusive. We used whole-genome shotgun metagenomics to monitor the midgut microbiome in 60 individual females of A. aegypti...
