A Gut Symbiotic Bacterium Serratia marcescens Renders Mosquito Resistance to Plasmodium Infection Through Activation of Mosquito Immune Responses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified two Serratia strains (Y1 and J1) isolated from field-caught female Anopheles sinensis from China and assessed their effect on Plasmodium development in An. stephensi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Containment and competition: Transgenic animals in the One Health agenda

TL;DR: This analysis elaborates three distinctions between the One World, One Health agenda and its transgenic counterpoint, and argues that the fundamental difference between these two approaches to infectious disease control can be summarized as one between strategies of containment and strategies of competition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent infection by Wolbachia wAlbB has no effect on composition of the gut microbiota in adult female Anopheles stephensi

TL;DR: Consistent presence of certain predominant bacteria (Elizabethkingia, Asaia, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacteriaceae) suggests they would be useful for paratransgenesis to control malaria infection, particularly when coupled to a Wolbachia-based intervention strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial Microbiome in Wild-Caught Anopheles Mosquitoes in Western Thailand.

TL;DR: Evidence that microbiota might impact pathogen development (suppression) in Anopheles and thereby reduce the risk of pathogen transmission deserves more studies to describe the presence and better understand the biological role of bacteria in natural mosquito populations.
