Wolbachia, an endosymbiotic alpha-proteobacterium commonly found in insects, can inhibit the transmission of human pathogens by mosquitoes. Biocontrol programs are underway usingAedes aegyptimosquitoes trans-infected with a non-naturalWolbachiastrain to reduce dengue virus transmission. Less is known about the impact ofWolbachiaon the biology and vectorial capacity ofAnophelesmosquitoes, the vectors of malaria parasites. A naturally occurring strain ofWolbachia,wAnga, infects populations of the major malaria vectorsAnopheles gambiaeandAnopheles coluzziiin Burkina Faso. Previous studies foundwAnga infection was negatively correlated withPlasmodiuminfection in the mosquito andwAnga influenced mosquito egg-laying behavior. Here, we investigatewAnga in natural populations ofAn. coluzziiand its interactions with other resident microbiota using targeted 16S sequencing. Though we find no major differences in microbiota composition associated withwAnga infection, we do find several taxa that correlate with the presence or absence ofwAnga in female mosquitoes following oviposition, with the caveat that we could not rule out batch effects due to the unanticipated impact ofwAnga on oviposition timing. These data suggestwAnga may influence or interact with theAnophelesmicrobiota, which may contribute to the impact ofwAnga onAnophelesbiology and vectorial capacity.
