The oomycete genus , which includes the mosquito biocontrol agent , is composed of animal pathogens, yet is phylogenetically closely related to the well characterized plant pathogens and spp. These phylogenetic affinities were further supported by the identification of canonical oomycete effectors in the transcriptome. In this study, culture-independent, metabarcoding analyses aimed at detecting in bromeliad phytotelmata (a proven mosquito breeding ground) microbiomes were performed.
