A Diverse Microbial Community Supports Larval Development and Survivorship of the Asian Tiger Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae)
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 56(3), 632–640.
author keywords: Quercus alba; mosquito; microcosms; transstadial transmission; microbial communities
MeSH headings : Aedes / growth & development; Aedes / microbiology; Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Female; Larva / growth & development; Larva / microbiology; Longevity; Male; Microbiota; Pupa / growth & development; Pupa / microbiology
TL;DR:
High larval survivorship in positive control microcosms suggests that a diverse microbial community is required to complete larval development, and additional studies are needed to evaluate larval growth and survivorship on nonbacterial microbes, such as fungi and protozoa.
