Cansado-Utrilla C, Saldana M, Golovko G, Khanipov K, Wild A, Brettell L, et al.
bioRxiv . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39974953
The mosquito microbiota represents an intricate assemblage of microorganisms, comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Factors modulating microbiome abundance and composition include host genetic background, environmental parameters, and pathogen exposure....

Hegde S, Khanipov K, Hornett E, Nilyanimit P, Pimenova M, Saldana M, et al.
Anim Microbiome . 2024 Mar; 6(1):11. PMID: 38454530
Background: The mosquito microbiome is an important modulator of vector competence and vectoral capacity. Unlike the extensively studied bacterial microbiome, fungal communities in the mosquito microbiome (the mycobiome) remain largely...

Hegde S, Brettell L, Quek S, Etebari K, Saldana M, Asgari S, et al.
Environ Microbiol . 2024 Jan; 26(2):e16576. PMID: 38192175
The mosquito microbiome is critical for host development and plays a major role in many aspects of mosquito biology. While the microbiome is commonly dominated by a small number of...

Murray K, Saldana M, Gunter S, Manzanero R, Zielinski-Gutierrez E, Herrera C, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2022 Nov; 107(5):992-995. PMID: 36395748
In January 2020, we instituted acute febrile illness surveillance in 11 hospitals and clinics across Belize. Within 3 months, we diagnosed an acute case of Chagas disease by polymerase chain...

Kozlova E, Hegde S, Roundy C, Golovko G, Saldana M, Hart C, et al.
ISME J . 2020 Sep; 15(1):93-108. PMID: 32895494
How microbe-microbe interactions dictate microbial complexity in the mosquito gut is unclear. Previously we found that, Serratia, a gut symbiont that alters vector competence and is being considered for vector...

Bhadra S, Saldana M, Han H, Hughes G, Ellington A
Viruses . 2018 Dec; 10(12). PMID: 30558136
We have developed a generalizable "smart molecular diagnostic" capable of accurate point-of-care (POC) detection of variable nucleic acid targets. Our isothermal assay relies on multiplex execution of four loop-mediated isothermal...

Hegde S, Khanipov K, Albayrak L, Golovko G, Pimenova M, Saldana M, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2018 Sep; 9:2160. PMID: 30250462
Microbial interactions are an underappreciated force in shaping insect microbiome communities. Although pairwise patterns of symbiont interactions have been identified, we have a poor understanding regarding the scale and the...

Bhadra S, Riedel T, Saldana M, Hegde S, Pederson N, Hughes G, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2018 Aug; 12(8):e0006671. PMID: 30161131
Manipulation of natural mosquito populations using the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia is being investigated as a novel strategy to reduce the burden of mosquito-borne viruses. To evaluate the efficacy of these...

mSphere . 2017 Dec; 2(6). PMID: 29202041
Zika virus (ZIKV) of the family is a recently emerged mosquito-borne virus that has been implicated in the surge of the number of microcephaly instances in South America. The recent...
