The axenic and gnotobiotic mosquito: emerging models for microbiome host interactions
The increasing availability of modern research tools has enabled a revolution in studies of
non-model organisms. Yet, one aspect that remains difficult or impossible to control in many …

Three species of axenic mosquito larvae recruit a shared core of bacteria in a common garden experiment
In this study, we describe the generation of two new species of axenic mosquito, Aedes
albopictus and Aedes triseriatus. Along with Aedes aegypti, axenic larvae of these three …
