Article Synopsis
- Bacterial endosymbionts are common in mosquitoes and can influence reproduction and block virus transmission, making them potential tools for vector control.
- In French Guiana, a study found that 65.9% of tested mosquito species carried these bacteria, though the major dengue vector showed no infection.
- The research provides insights into the prevalence and types of these bacteria, which can inform future strategies for controlling disease-carrying mosquito populations in the region.
Pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in sylvatic or urban cycles involve wild or domestic animals and humans, driven by various mosquito species with distinct host preferences. Understanding mosquito-host associations is crucial for ecological insights and pathogen surveillance. In this study, we analyzed mosquito blood meals from coastal French Guiana by amplifying and sequencing host DNA from blood-fed females.
