Thank you for the highlight! @UTSCresearch @UtscBiology.
U of T Scarborough researchers have sequenced the genome of a gut-dwelling fungus that might help fight against deadly mosquito-borne diseases like Zika and malaria. Read more: @UTSC #BreakingResearch

Check out our latest paper on mosquito gut-dwelling fungi! We found a surprising abundance of repetitive elements (~25% of the genome) and gene loss events likely due to long-term mosquito symbiosis.

Abstract. Mosquito guts host a variety of microbes, yet fungi are often overlooked. Smittium (Harpellales, Zoopagomycota) comprises numerous species that a
