<i>Asaia</i> spp. accelerate development of the yellow fever mosquito, <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, via interactions with the vertically transmitted larval microbiome
Our results reveal Asaia as a poor mutualist for Ae. aegypti, but with a species-specific positive effect on improving host performance mediated by interactions with other bacteria.
