Ae. Aegypti core microbiome. A Number of bacterial species is plotted in relation to the proportion of individuals in which each species was identified. B Percent of microbiome composition is plotted in relation to the proportion of individuals in which each species was identified. Those species present in 75% or more individuals comprised 93% of total microbiome composition. Fifty-four species were identified in all 172 individuals. C Contribution of the 54 ubiquitously present microbiome species to core microbiome composition. Species that do not constitute > 5% of the core microbiome have been grouped as ‘Other.’
