TL;DR: Gut community structure was similar in the adult stage between the field and laboratory mosquitoes, indicating that mosquito gut is a selective eco-environment for its microbiome, and suggests a concerted symbiotic genetic association between gut inhabitants and host.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the efficiency of specific natural predators against mosquito larvae and these naturally occurring predators may be useful in biocontrol strategies for aquatic stage An.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that long-lasting biological larviciding was effective in reducing pupal productivity of larval habitats, and reducing indoor and outdoor resting mosquitoes, and suggests thatLong-lasting microbial Larviciding may be a promising complementary malaria vector control tool and warrants further large-scale evaluation.

TL;DR: These findings suggest that the aerial sampler is the better of the two methods for estimating the productivity of An.

TL;DR: Although Lys c-1 did not directly kill most bacteria, knockdown of LYSC-1 resulted in significant mortality in mosquitoes subjected to hemocoelic infections with Escherichia coli but not M. luteus thus suggesting that this protein plays an important role in antibacterial defense against selected bacteria.
