Increased environmental microbial diversity reduces the disease risk of a mosquitocidal pathogen

ABSTRACTIncreased diversity in host-associated microbial communities often benefits animal health by provisioning nutrients and protecting against pathogens. In contrast, whether the diversity of environmental microbial communities can also benefit animal health is much less studied. In aquatic envi...
