Abstract Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) have been shown to host diverse bacterial
communities that vary depending on the sex of the mosquito, the developmental stage, and …

Insect symbioses lack the complexity and diversity of those associated with higher
eukaryotic hosts. Symbiotic microbiomes are beneficial to their insect hosts in many ways …

Field studies indicate adult mosquitoes (C ulicidae) host low diversity communities of
bacteria that vary greatly among individuals and species. In contrast, it remains unclear how …

The mosquito gut represents an ecosystem that accommodates a complex, intimately
associated microbiome. It is increasingly clear that the gut microbiome influences a wide …

The susceptibility of Anopheles mosquitoes to Plasmodium infections relies on complex
interactions between the insect vector and the malaria parasite. A number of studies have …

This article presents an overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen
transmission by insect vectors. It first briefly summarises some of the disease-causing …

The mosquito midgut is a hostile environment that vector‐borne parasites must survive to be
transmitted. Commensal bacteria in the midgut can reduce the ability of mosquitoes to …

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are being increasingly described as associating with different
insect species that rely on sugar-based diets. AAB have been found in several insect orders …

Conditions experienced during larval development of holometabolous insects can affect
adult traits, but whether differences in the bacterial communities of larval development sites …

Since the implementation of Roll Back Malaria, the widespread use of insecticide-treated
nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) is thought to have played a major part in the …
