[The yeast flora of blood-sucking mosquitoes]

Yeast flora composition has been studied in natural populations of blood-sucking mosquitoes of genera Aedes. Anopheles and Culex dwelling in the territory of Ukraine. The authors have distinguished 18 yeast species belonging to 7 genera. Species Candida famata, C. (Yarrowia) lipolytica as well as the yeast of genera Rhodotorula and Cryptococcus dominate on the larvae and imago of mosquitoes. The distinguished strains are the components of normal microflora of blood-sucking mosquitoes and take no pathogenic effect on the laboratory culture of mosquitoes Aedes aegypti.
