Mosquitoes as vector-based sentinels for tracking bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial resistance in the environment.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mosquitoes are increasingly recognized as mobile interfaces linking humans, animals, and diverse aquatic and terrestrial microbiomes. Beyond their established role as disease vectors, accumulating evidence indicates that mosquitoes harbor diverse bacterial communities and can acquire and potentially disseminate bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants through feeding and environmental contact. Their dispersal capacity (typically 5-10 km, with occasional long-range wind-assisted movement), combined with a dual feeding ecology-blood feeding in females and nectar feeding in males-facilitates broad microbial exchange across ecosystems. These characteristics position mosquitoes as underutilized environmental sentinels for tracking microbial contamination and AMR dissemination. This mini-review highlights the potential of mosquitoes for detecting bacterial pathogens and AMR genes and emphasizes their emerging role within integrated One Health surveillance frameworks.
