Understanding the environmental factors affecting the microbiota in malaria vectors may help in the development of novel vector control interventions, similar to paratransgenesis. This study evaluated seasonal and geographical variations in the …
**Background** Research on mosquito-microbe interactions may lead to new tools for mosquito and mosquito-borne disease control. To date, such research has largely utilized laboratory-reared mosquitoes that typically lack the microbial diversity of …
Background: Insecticide resistance among mosquito species is now a pervasive phenomenon, which threatens to jeopardise global malaria vector control efforts. Evidence of links between the mosquito microbiota and insecticide resistance is emerging, …
Water-related diseases such as diarrhoeal diseases from viral, bacterial and parasitic organisms and *Aedes*-borne arboviral diseases are major global health problems. We believe that these two disease groups share common risk factors, namely …
**Background**
Insecticide resistance poses a growing challenge to malaria vector control in Kenya and around the world. Following evidence of associations between the mosquito microbiota and insecticide resistance, the microbiota of Anopheles …
This perspective serves to introduce the Mosquito Microbiome Consortium and invite broader participation. It highlights the issues we view as most pressing to the community and proposes guidelines for conducting mosquito microbiome research.
This represents the first report of the susceptibility status of *Ae. albopictus* from durian orchards in southern Thailand to agrochemical insecticides. Results showed complete susceptibility of these mosquitoes to chlorpyrifos, but reduced mortality following exposure to lambda-cyhalothrin, carbaryl, and imidacloprid, which is suggestive of the development of resistance. These findings provide new insights into the status of insecticide resistance in *Ae. albopictus* populations, with important implications for mosquito and mosquito-borne disease control in Thailand.
