Microorganisms Associated with Mosquito Oviposition Sites: Implications for Habitat Selection and Insect Life Histories

Mosquitoes are considered one of the most important threats worldwide due to their ability vector pathogens. They responsible for transmission major pathogens such as malaria, dengue, zika, or chikungunya. Due lack treatments prophylaxis against many transmitted and an increasing prevalence mosquito resistance insecticides drugs available, alternative strategies now being explored. Some these involve use microorganisms promising agent limit fitness mosquitoes, attract repel them, decrease replication pathogenic agents. In recent years, importance colonizing habitat mosquitoes has particularly been investigated since they appeared play roles in development diseases transmission. this issue, we will synthesize researches investigating how present within water habitats may influence breeding site selection oviposition gravid females. We also highlight impact microbes on fate females’ progeny during immature stages with a specific focus egg hatching, rate, larvae pupae survival.
