Bacterial and Fungal Microbiota in Anopheles darlingi Exhibit Differences in Diversity Across Three Main Colombian Malaria-endemic Regions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Anopheles darlingi is the main malaria vector in the Neotropics. Despite their importance, little is known about the microbiota composition in areas where these vectors are found. Since the microbiota may influence host biology and vector competence, it is essential to understand these microbial communities in endemic regions. This study explores the bacterial and fungal communities in An. darlingi from three malaria-endemic areas in Colombia and examined how geography influences microbial composition. Mosquitoes were collected from the Bajo Cauca, Pacific and Amazonas regions, and their microbiota was characterized by amplifying and sequencing the 16 S rRNA V3-V4 region for bacteria and the ITS2 region for fungi. Analysis indicated greater alpha diversity in An. darlingi mosquitoes from the Amazonas region. Beta diversity findings demonstrated differences in bacterial and fungal community compositions across regions, especially between Amazonas and the other two regions. Additionally, the similarity of microbial communities declined slightly with increasing geographic distance. This study significantly advances our understanding of the microbiota associated with An. darlingi in endemic regions of Colombia, by revealing notable differences in bacterial and fungal community composition and abundance across diverse geographical populations. Importantly, these new insights extend beyond species and geographic boundaries by providing evidence of specific fungal communities linked to the vector, paving the way for innovative microbiota-based vector control strategies in malaria vector research.
