The paper shows that Microsporidia MB in wild Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes reduces Plasmodium falciparum infection odds by up to 60% depending on symbiont intensity.

This study examines how Microsporidia MB infection affects gene expression and gut microbiota in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes at different times post blood meal.

This study identifies the mechanism of vertical transmission of Microsporidia MB in Anopheles arabiensis, showing it spreads through germline stem cells and replicates in oocytes during egg development.

The paper investigates the microbiome composition and diversity of fall armyworm larvae and adults in Kenya, identifying dominant bacterial phyla and differences between life stages.
