Microbiome enrichment from a wild relative improves Black Soldier Fly larval survival, pathogen suppression and growth

2025-10-27

Abstract excerpt

Captive rearing can disrupt animal microbiomes, reducing diversity and impairing host performance. For the larvae of Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens ; BSFL), a key species in waste bioconversion, microbiome engineering offers a strategy to enhance growth and disease resistance. We tested whether enriching the BSFL microbiome with microbes from a wild relative, Exaireta spinigera , improves larval performa...
