Spatiotemporal variation in the microbiome of <i>Aedes vexans</i> from Korea reveals regional markers linked to environmental risk factors
a plant-associated genus with potential ecological implications, underscore the need for microbiome-informed surveillance tools. By highlighting native microbial signatures and their environmental drivers, this work lays the groundwork for microbiota-based monitoring of vector populations and opens new avenues for symbiont-based interventions in arbovirus control.
