Abstract:The microbiota of mosquitoes influences many aspects of their biology, including developmental processes, mating and sexual reproduction, immune functions, and refractoriness to pathogens. Here, we considered their role in resistance against insecticides. In particular, we assessed how larval infection of a permethrin-resistant and a sensitive colony ofAnopheles gambiaeby four strains belonging to three differentPseudomonasspecies affects several life history traits and the impact of the insecticide on the mor… Show more
