Excited to share our new paper out in @isme-microbes.bsky.social. We asked if environmental microbial communities can be adaptively modulated by host species that transiently acquire their symbionts from the environment #SymbioSky #MicrobiomeSky doi.org/10.1093/isme...

I’m thrilled to share my first review about microbial ecology + mosquito-borne disease control! Bacteria block pathogen development in the mosquito gut, but which bacteria will produce long-lasting results in the field? Let’s think about colonization and persistence in the mosquito gut! (1/4)

📣 Join us tomorrow (3/4) at 10 am for the upcoming #MDTP Dissertation Defense Seminar! Andrew Sommer from Coon Lab will be presenting on "Flies as carriers of clinically relevant bacteria in agricultural reservoirs"

Finally joined bsky to share a fun article from our university about MosAIC (Mosquito Associated Isolate Collection)! Read more about this highly collaborative project here: news.cals.wisc.edu/2024/12/17/n...

Check out the new work from the MosSI lab in collaboration with @aidanfoo.bsky.social @laurabrettell.bsky.social @evaheinz7.bsky.social and heaps of others. MosAIC: An annotated collection of mosquito-associated bacteria with high-quality genome assemblies journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
