Mosquito host background impacts microbiome-Zika virus interactions in field- and laboratory-reared Aedes aegypti Open
Mosquito microbiota abundance and composition are modulated by a variety of factors, including pathogen exposure. The microbiome can also influence pathogen infection of the host and thus harbours considerable potential to impact transmiss…

Mosquito host background influences microbiome-ZIKV interactions in field and laboratory-reared <i>Aedes aegypti</i> Open
The mosquito microbiota represents an intricate assemblage of microorganisms, comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Factors modulating microbiome abundance and composition include host genetic background, environmental paramet…

Microbiome variability of mosquito lines is consistent over time and across environments Open
The composition of the microbiome is shaped by both environment and host genetic background in most organisms, but in the mosquito Aedes aegypti the role of host genetics in shaping the microbiome is poorly understood. Previously, we had s…

SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies in Dogs and Cats in the United Kingdom Open
Companion animals are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and sporadic cases of pet infections have occurred in the United Kingdom. Here we present the first large-scale serological survey of SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies in dogs and …

Evidence for natural hybridization and novel <i>Wolbachia</i> strain superinfections in the <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> complex from Guinea Open
Wolbachia , a widespread bacterium which can influence mosquito-borne pathogen transmission, has recently been detected within Anopheles ( An .) species that are malaria vectors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although studies have reported Wolbach…

The Microbiome and Mosquito Vectorial Capacity: Rich Potential for Discovery and Translation Open
Microbiome research has gained considerable interest due to the emerging evidence of its impact on human and animal health. Similar to higher organisms, the gut-associated microbiota of mosquitoes affect host fitness and other phenotypes. …

Genomic and microscopic evidence of stable high density and maternally inherited<i>Wolbachia</i>infections in<i>Anopheles</i>mosquitoes Open
Wolbachia , a widespread bacterium that can reduce pathogen transmission in mosquitoes, has been detected within populations of Anopheles (An.) malaria vectors. In the An. gambiae complex, the primary vectors in Sub-Saharan Africa, Wolbach…
