Diverse laboratory colonies of Aedes aegypti harbor the same adult midgut bacterial microbiome

Abstract Background Host-associated microbes, collectively known as the microbiota, play an important role in the biology of multicellular organisms. In mosquito vectors of human pathogens, the gut bacterial microbiota influences vectorial capacity and has become the subject of intense study. In lab...
