[Yeast associations with mosquitoes of the genus Aedes Mg. (Diptera, Culicidae) in the Tom-Ob river region].
The inner microflora of blood-sucking mosquitoes genus Aedes inhabiting different biotops of aspen-birch woods of the Tomsc Priob region has been investigated. 120 strains of yeasts genera Pichia, Hansenula, Saccharomyces, Torulaspora, Metschnicowia, Rhodotorula, Cryptococcus, Candida and Aueobasidium have been isolated, the most number of species belong to the genus Pichia. Yeasts P. guilliermondii, A. pullulans and M. pulcherrima have been found during all periods of insects collection. The most number of yeasts species has been found in mosquitos of mass species--A. diantaeus, A. excrucians. A. punctor and A. communis. It is supposed that isolated yeasts are collected by mosquitoes off natural substrates in the course of their development.
