The microbiome composition of Aedes aegypti is not critical for Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of dengue virus (original) (raw)
Fig 1
Microbiome composition of wt and _w_Mel Ae. aegypti mosquitoes.
Relative abundance of microbiota present in wt (A) or _w_Mel (B) Ae. aegypti lines as determined by sequencing of 16s rDNA following a DENV-infectious blood-meal. Where indicated (+ antibiotics) mosquitoes were treated with a combination of penicillin-streptomycin-kanamycin for 3 generations before profiling. Each bar represents a single mosquito. OTU are grouped by genus; ‘unclassified’ indicates OTU that were not classified at the genus level.
