Midgut bacteria in Aedes aegypti that are naturally susceptible or refractory to dengue viruses
The composition, abundance and diversity of midgut bacteria in mosquitoes can influence pathogen transmission. We used 16S rRNA microbiome profiling to survey midgut microbial diversity in pooled samples of lab colonized field-derived dengue-refractory, Cali-MIB (n=8) and dengue-susceptible, Cali-S (n=8) Aedes aegypti.
