Assessment of Culex quinquefasciatus microbiota and the impact of Lysinibacillus sphaericus larvicide exposure on susceptible and resistant strains.
Bacterial symbionts play crucial roles in mosquito development and other features. Increasing evidence suggests that exposure to insecticides can modulate mosquito-associated microbiota, with potential implications for vector control strategies. The goal of this study was to compare the bacterial communities of Culex q...
