gut metagenome
The gut microbiota has a significant role in pathogen transmission and mosquito biology. To characterize the gut microbiota of Aedes albopictus larvae, second instar larvae were collected from the field and reared in the laboratory up to fourth instar in distilled water. Larvae were fed with yeast granules. The gut bacterial composition of the fourth instar larvae was assessed by 16s ribosomal RNA gene sequencing.
