Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Microbe-insect and microbe-microbe interactions have tremendous impact on the outcome of pathogen infection and transmission. Our understanding of these intricate interactions enhances the design, development and efficacy of microbial biopesticides. This presentation will introduce multi-organismal interactions that exists in the mosquito vector and discuss how our understanding of these complex interactions is enhancing our ability to design novel microbial pesticides that target insects and pathogens that affect public health and agriculture.
