Interkingdom interactions shape the fungal microbiome of mosquitoes (2024)
Journal Article
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...

Aedes aegypti gut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field‐caught or laboratory‐reared mosquitoes (2024)
Journal Article
Hegde, S., Brettell, L. E., Quek, S., Etebari, K., Saldaña, M. A., Asgari, S., …Hughes, G. L. (2024). Aedes aegypti gut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field‐caught or laboratory‐reared mosquitoes. Environmental Microbiology, 26(2), Article e16576. https://doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.16576

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...

Identification and characterization of two CRISPR-Cas systems associated with the mosquito microbiome (2023)
Journal Article
Hegde, S., Rauch, H. E., Hughes, G. L., & Shariat, N. (in press). Identification and characterization of two CRISPR-Cas systems associated with the mosquito microbiome. Access Microbiology, 5(8), https://doi.org/10.1099/acmi.0.000599.v3

The microbiome profoundly influences many traits in medically relevant vectors such as mosquitoes, and a greater functional understanding of host-microbe interactions may be exploited for novel microbial-based approaches to control mosquito-borne dis...
