This study investigates the fungal microbiome of three mosquito species, finding environmental and host factors influence fungal diversity, with interkingdom interactions affecting fungal colonization.

This study compares gut transcriptomic responses of mosquitoes to microbiome transplants from field-caught versus laboratory-reared donors, finding greater gene expression variation with field microbiomes.

This study investigates how microbial interactions in the mosquito gut affect Serratia colonization and blood feeding behavior in Ae. aegypti.

This study shows gut bacteria invade mosquito cells, activate immune pathways, and reduce Zika virus infection.

The paper analyzes microbiome interactions in mosquitoes to identify co-occurrence and co-exclusion patterns across species and environments.

This study analyzes the transcriptome of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Zika virus at 2, 7, and 14 days post-infection, identifying changes in transcripts and long intergenic non-coding RNAs.
