  abstract = {{B}ackground: {H}ost-associated microbes, collectively known as the microbiota, play an important role in the biology of multicellular organisms. {I}n mosquito vectors of human pathogens, the gut bacterial microbiota influences vectorial capacity and has become the subject of intense study. {I}n laboratory studies of vector biology, genetic effects are often inferred from differences between geographically and genetically diverse colonies of mosquitoes that are reared in the same insectary. {I}t is unclear, however, to what extent genetic effects can be confounded by uncontrolled differences in the microbiota composition among mosquito colonies. {T}o address this question, we used 16{S} metagenomics to compare the midgut bacterial microbiome of six laboratory colonies of {A}edes aegypti recently derived from wild populations representing the geographical range and genetic diversity of the species. {R}esults: {W}e found that the diversity, abundance, and community structure of the midgut bacterial microbiome was remarkably similar among the six different colonies of {A}e. aegypti, regardless of their geographical origin. {W}e also confirmed the relatively low complexity of bacterial communities inhabiting the mosquito midgut. {C}onclusions: {O}ur finding that geographically diverse colonies of {A}e. aegypti reared in the same insectary harbor a similar gut bacterial microbiome supports the conclusion that the gut microbiota of adult mosquitoes is environmentally determined regardless of the host genotype. {T}hus, uncontrolled differences in microbiota composition are unlikely to represent a significant confounding factor in genetic studies of vector biology.},
