The Insect Microbiome Modulates Vector Competence for Arboviruses
Diseases caused by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as Dengue, West Nile, and Chikungunya, constitute a major global health burden and are increasing in incidence and geographic range. The natural microbiota of insect vectors influences various aspects of host biology, such as nutrition, reproduction, metabolism, and immunity, and recent studies have highlighted the ability of insect...
متن کاملMicrobiome, metabolites and host immunity.
In the intestine, the microbial genomes and repertoire of biochemical reactions outnumber those of the host and significantly contribute to many aspects of the host's health, including metabolism, immunity, development and behavior, while microbial community imbalance is associated with disease. The crosstalk between the host and its microbiome occurs in part through the secretion of metabolite...
متن کاملImmune competence in insect eggs depends on the extraembryonic serosa.
Innate immunity is common to all metazoans and serves as a first line of defense against pathogens. Although the immune response of adult and larval insects has been well characterized, it remains unknown whether the insect egg is able to mount an immune response. Contrary to Drosophila, Tribolium eggs develop an extraembryonic epithelium, the serosa. Epithelia are well known for their ability ...
متن کاملHost genetic variation in mucosal immunity pathways influences the upper airway microbiome
BACKGROUND The degree to which host genetic variation can modulate microbial communities in humans remains an open question. Here, we performed a genetic mapping study of the microbiome in two accessible upper airway sites, the nasopharynx and the nasal vestibule, during two seasons in 144 adult members of a founder population of European decent. RESULTS We estimated the relative abundances (...
متن کاملDeconstructing the Bat Skin Microbiome: Influences of the Host and the Environment
Bats are geographically widespread and play an important role in many ecosystems, but relatively little is known about the ecology of their associated microbial communities and the role microbial taxa play in bat health, development, and evolution. Moreover, few vertebrate animal skin microbiomes have been comprehensively assessed, and thus characterizing the bat skin microbiome will yield valu...
