Microorganisms Associated with Mosquito Oviposition Sites: Implications for Habitat Selection and Insect Life Histories
Mosquitoes are considered one of the most important threats worldwide due to their ability to vector pathogens. They are responsible for the transmission of major pathogens such as malaria, dengue, zika, or chikungunya. Due to the lack of treatments or prophylaxis against many of the transmitted pat...
