On the contamination of haemolymph in mosquitoes infected by the yellow fever virus

Diversity of Culturable Bacteria Isolated From the Feces of Wild Anopheles darlingi (Diptera: Culicidae) Mosquitoes From the Brazilian Amazon

“…The isolation of bacteria from mosquito's feces for microbiological analysis has received little attention. We highlight the pioneering study on the experimental transmission of the yellow fever virus from fecal material present in the legs of infected mosquitoes (Aragão and Costa Lima, 1929) and, recently, the study conducted by Pilotte et al (2016) using the feces of the mosquito Anopheles stephensi for xenomonitoring of the nematode Brugia malayia and protozoan Plasmodium vivax. The fecal collection methodology employed by both authors was tested for isolation of culturable bacteria and neither was suitable (unpublished data).…”
