Abstract:
Most species of mosquitoes are detritivores that feed on decaying plant and animal materials in their aquatic environment. Studies of several detritivorous mosquito species indicate that they host relatively low diversity communities of microbes that are acquired from the environment while feeding. Our recent results also indicate that detritivorous species normally require a living gut microbiota to grow beyond the first instar. Less well known is that some mosquitoes, including those belonging to the genus Toxorhynchites , are predators that feed on other species of mosquitoes and nektonic prey. In this study, we asked whether predaceous Toxorhynchites amboinensis larvae still require living microbes in their gut in order to develop. Using the detritivorous mosquito Aedes aegypti as prey, we found that T. amboinensis larvae harbour bacterial communities that are highly similar to that of their prey. Functional assays showed that T. amboinensis first instars provided axenic (i.e. bacteria-free) prey failed to develop, while two bacterial species present in gnotobiotic (i.e. colonized by one or more known bacterial species) prey successfully colonized the T. amboinensis gut and rescued development. Axenic T. amboinensis larvae also displayed defects in growth consistent with previously identified roles for microbe-mediated gut hypoxia in nutrient acquisition and assimilation in A. aegypti. Collectively, these results support a conserved role for gut microbes in regulating the development of mosquitoes with different feeding strategies.

Abstract:
Arthropod vectors control the replication of arboviruses through their innate antiviral immune responses. In particular, the RNA interference (RNAi) pathways are of notable significance for the control of viral infections. Although much has been done to understand the role of RNAi in vector populations, little is known about its importance in non-vector mosquito species. In this study, we investigated the presence of an RNAi response in Toxorhynchites amboinensis, which is a non-blood feeding species proposed as a biological control agent against pest mosquitoes. Using a derived cell line (TRA-171), we demonstrate that these mosquitoes possess a functional RNAi response that is active against a mosquito-borne alphavirus, Semliki Forest virus. As observed in vector mosquito species, small RNAs are produced that target viral sequences. The size and characteristics of these small RNAs indicate that both the siRNA and piRNA pathways are induced in response to infection. Taken together, this data suggests that Tx. amboinensis are able to control viral infections in a similar way to natural arbovirus vector mosquito species. Understanding their ability to manage arboviral infections will be advantageous when assessing these and similar species as biological control agents.

Abstract:
A l'aide d'essais de contamination menes dans les conditions controlees du laboraoire, le potentiel larvicide des hyphomycetes metarhizium anisopliae et tolypocladium cylindrosporum est eprouve sur le moustique aedes albopictus, un important vecteur de la dengue. Le role de l'age larvaire et de la mue comme facteurs de resistance aux infections est discute. Le spectre d'hote de la souche ma 139 est etudie sur les larves culiciphages du moustique toxorhyncites amboinensis. Des larves proies prealablement infectees par cette souche representent un inoculum potentiel pour ce predateur. Le mode d'action de ces germes est approfondi par des etudes histologiques et ultrastructurales qui ont notamment permis de suivre le comportement de leurs spores dans le mesenteron des larves et la penetration cuticulaire de t. Cylindrosporum. Le determinisme des processus toxemiques impliques dans la pathogenie de m. Anisopliae est precise par l'evaluation du nombre de spores ingerees par les larves
