Figure 7.
Local connectivity of Escherichia-Shigella in the co-occurrence networks of C. quinquefasciatus microbiota in the different experimental groups. The nodes/taxa linked to Escherichia-Shigella (purple node) were identified in the bacterial co-occurrence networks of mosquitoes fed on mock-immunized (PBS), E. coli-immunized and infected birds. Node sizes are proportional to the eigenvector centrality value. Only nodes with at least one connection are displayed. Connecting edges stand for a co-occurrence correlation (SparCC > 0.75), representing positive (blue edges) and negative (red edges) interactions between bacteria. BCP – Burkholderia Caballeronia Paraburkholderia.
