Abstract excerpt
Anopheles mosquitoes transmit infections to humans. Identifying the right mosquito species is crucial for vector control evaluation. This study uses COI gene DNA barcoding and 16S rRNA metagenomics to show the genetic diversity and gut microbial profile of undiscovered mosquito species. Three genera were found, including eight morphologically different Anopheles mosquitoes, and six mosquito species were...
