Hegde, S., Khanipov, K., Hornett, E. A., Nilyanimit, P., Pimenova, M., Saldaña, M. A., …Hughes, G. L. (2024). Interkingdom interactions shape the fungal microbiome of mosquitoes. Animal Microbiome, 6(1), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1186/s42523-024-00298-4

Background The mosquito microbiome is an important modulator of vector competence and vectoral capacity. Unlike the extensively studied bacterial microbiome, fungal communities in the mosquito microbiome (the mycobiome) remain largely unexplored. To...

The mosquito microbiome is critical for host development and plays a major role in many aspects of mosquito biology. While the microbiome is commonly dominated by a small number of genera, there is considerable variation in composition among mosquito...
