Isolation and identification of culturable bacteria from wild Anopheles culicifacies, a first step in a paratransgenesis approach

Abstract Background Due to the effect of midgut bacteria on proliferation of parasites and their potential as paratransgenesis tools, their identification in malaria vector mosquitoes is important. Anopheles culicifacies s.l. is one of the main malaria vectors in Asia; however, its midgut microbiota...
