Exposure to West Nile Virus Increases Bacterial Diversity and Immune Gene Expression in Culex pipiens

Complex interactions between microbial residents of mosquitoes and arboviruses are likely to influence many aspects of vectorial capacity and could potentially have profound effects on patterns of arbovirus transmission. Such interactions have not been well studied for West Nile virus (WNV; Flavivir...
