236 - Metagenomic bank for the control of Culicidae

Abstract: The creation of a metagenomic bank is of vital importance for the study and control of vectors. The Molecular and Structural Physiology Laboratory performs different omics focused on the dengue-transmitting mosquito Aedes aegypti, generating information on the genome, mironome, metabolome, microbiome, among others. Although the science performed is essentially descriptive, it is of vital importance to have it in order to start generating experiments that benefit vector control, since the main impediment to carry out experimental science is the lack of focus.
