Bacteria in Anopheles darlingi breeding sites in Manaus, the Amazon, Brazil. Microbiota in mosquito breeding waters, Brazil

In this study bacterial community composition in Anopheles darlingi breeding waters was investigated. Four sites in Manaus Brazil were sampled by taking surface water. The water samples were DNA extracted and 16S rRNA genes were amplified and sequenced by MiSeq. The reads were then analysed and compared between the sites.

本研究旨在调查达林按蚊（Anopheles darlingi）孳生水域的细菌群落组成。研究人员于巴西马瑙斯市的4个采样点采集表层水样，对所得水样进行DNA提取，扩增16S核糖体RNA（16S rRNA）基因，并通过MiSeq测序平台完成测序。随后对测序得到的读段（reads）进行数据分析，并在各采样点间开展比对分析。
