Microbiota variation in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> (Diptera:Culicidae): a comparative study of field-caught and laboratory-adapted reared populations
= 0.003), confirming that the rearing environment influences microbial composition. In addition, our findings suggest that certain bacterial microorganisms were associated with both field-collected and laboratory-adapted insects (shared microbiota), which may be relevant to mosquito biology. This study expands our understanding of microbial changes associated with rearing conditions, highlighting their importance for the development of future vector-control strategies.
