Microbiota are vital for the development, physiology, and vectorial capacity of mosquitoes. The composition and role of microbiota in Anopheles species, especially Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi, have been extensively studied, but little is known about the microbiota of Anopheles species in China. We characterized the microbial communities of Anopheles dirus, Anopheles sinensis, and Anopheles lesteri by 16S rRNA sequencing. There were distinct differences in the composition of microbiota in An. lesteri and the other 2 species. The discriminatory genera in the 3 species were analyzed by the linear discriminant analysis effect size method. Our results provide an overview of the population structure of microbiota in 3 native Anopheles species and will pave the way for further understanding of their role in mosquito physiology and vector competence.
