Bacterial diversity of field-caught mosquitoes from different regions of Belgium and potential impact on virus transmission ; Diversité bactérienne de moustiques provenant de différentes régions de Belgique et leur impact potentiel sur la transmission des maladies

Several vectors disease presented a resistance to various pesticides currently used. Endosymbiotic bacteria was an alternative solution found because of their probably interactive effects with their host. According to the introduction risks of these virus and disease dispersion, we propose to investigate the bacterial endosymbiont role in Culicidae in Belgium. Among the 30 species of mosquitoes identified in this country, about ten are considered as potential vectors of arboviruses. In this study, eleven species of Culicidae belonging to five genera (Culex pipiens s.l., Cx. torrentium, Cx. hor... Mehr ...
