Analyzing gut microbiota composition in individual mosquitoes after experimental treatment.

The microbiota of mosquitoes influences malaria transmission. Antibiotics ingested during a blood meal impact the mosquito microbiome and malaria transmission, with substantial differences between drugs. Here, we assessed if amoxicillin affects the gut mosquito microbiota We collected larvae in Burkina Faso, kept them in semi-field conditions, and offered a blood meal to adult females.
