Gut microbiota of Spodoptera frugiperda in the western hemisphere. Gut microbiota of Spodoptera frugiperda

Our goal was to investigate if the fall armyworm gut microbiota is modulated by the country of origin, or/and strain. We used next-generation sequencing to identify the microbial communities of S. frugiperda from maize fields in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, and Peru.
