Microbiota isolate collections: A key to global vector-borne disease control
Insect vector microbiomes are essential for insect function, making them promising targets for controlling vector-borne diseases. Microbial isolate collections aid in identifying microbial targets, but expanding these collections must rely on coordinated efforts that are ethical and ensure equitable benefit sharing.
