The different mosquito culturing setups. (A) The two mosquito species reared independently in separate larval pans and in separate cages. (B) The two species co-reared in the same pan (but separated by a net to avoid predation) to analyze the effect of sharing the same larval water on the adult midgut microbiota. (C) The two species reared independently from each other, but adults of both species share the same sugar source in order to analyze the effect of sharing the sugar source on the adult midgut microbiota. An=Anopheles gambiae, Ae=Aedes albopictus.
