Changes in the Anopheles arabiensis transcriptome and gut microbiota profiles associated with the endosymbiotic Microsporidia MB
Our results provide insights into the effect of Microsporidia MB infection on the An. arabiensis gene expression and gut microbiota profiles. This work will contribute to mechanistic insights into symbiont-mediated malaria transmission blocking.
