Author(s): Anupama M, Rashmi P, Anjana CM, Jayakrishnan TV and Jiji Joseph V
Abstract: Mosquitoes, as vectors of various pathogens, pose significant threats to human health worldwide. Among them, Armigeres subalbatus stands out for its role in transmitting diseases such as Japanese encephalitis and filariasis. Despite its importance, little is known about the microbial communities within its ovaries. In this study, bacteria from the ovaries of Armigeres subalbatus were isolated, characterised and identified using conventional and molecular techniques. The predominant species identified was Staphylococcus gallinarum. The findings of the study shed light on the ovarian microbiota of Armigeres subalbatus and its potential implications for mosquito biology and disease transmission dynamics. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing innovative strategies for vector control and disease prevention.
