Mosquito host background impacts microbiome-Zika virus interactions in field- and laboratory-reared Aedes aegypti - Animal Microbiome

Mosquito microbiota abundance and composition are modulated by a variety of factors, including pathogen exposure. The microbiome can also influence pathogen infection of the host and thus harbours con...

A high-resolution genomic and phenotypic analysis of resistance evolution of an Escherichia coli strain from a critically unwell patient treated with piperacillin/tazobactam

Introduction. Resistance to the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) combination antibiotic piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) predominantly occurs via β-lactamase enzymes, also leading to resistance to...

Happy 2025 all! Hot off the press, news from the #mosquito #microbiomes and why a 'reproducibility crisis' in mosquito research might be because your #holobiont is not exactly the same as next-door's holobiont 😁 💻🧬🦠🦟 lnkd.in/dp7v-wqU

great #PhD opportunity in #disease #ecology - which species are key for #tick-borne disease transmission in the UK? Combining genetics, community ecology, mathematical modelling
