MICROBIOMES OF BLOOD-FEEDING ARTHROPODS: GENES CODING FOR ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS AND RELATION TO VECTOR FITNESS AND PATHOGENIC INFECTIONS. A REVIEW

Microbiomes of Blood-Feeding Arthropods: Genes Coding for Essential Nutrients and Relation to Vector Fitness and Pathogenic Infections. A Review

Background: Blood-feeding arthropods support a diverse array of symbiotic microbes, some of which facilitate host growth and development whereas others are detrimental to vector-borne COLLAGEN SERUM pathogens.We found a common core constituency among the microbiota of 16 different arthropod blood-sucking disease vectors, including Bacillaceae, Rick
