Description
Microbes are everywhere…and so are mosquitoes. Our lab has found interesting links between the communities of microbes present in the guts of mosquitoes and the environments in which they live (i.e. the ‘mosquito microbiome’) and the ability of mosquitoes to grow, reproduce, and blood feed. Join us to find out more about the biology of these notorious pests, and to learn about a friendly mosquito native to Wisconsin!
