“…The populations of symbiotic microbes changed depending on the species, period, and diet of the mosquito ( Wang et al, 2011 ; Vogel et al, 2017 ). The main phyla of the A. albopictus microbiota were Proteobacteria, Ascomycota, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes, all of which had been similarly reported in other mosquito species ( Pidiyar et al, 2004 ; Rani et al, 2009 ; Boissiere et al, 2012 ; Lin et al, 2021 ). Among the Proteobacteria phylum, two genera, Wolbachia and Serratia , were most associated with mosquitoes; Wolbachia stimulates the production of reactive oxygen species and activates the immune system in the body, resulting in the production of antimicrobial peptides to fight viruses ( Pan et al, 2012 ; Mains et al, 2016 ).…”
