Dear All
We are trying to detect Wolbachia in Culex and Aedes spp (adult, larvae and pupae). Can anyone please tell what would be the preferred approach to start with considering adult moquito samples. For instance, some articles refer to use to whole body while others have isolated gDNA from organs such as ovaries. It is also mentioned that removal of head improves detection due to presence of inhibitors. It is also proposed somewhere that Wolbachia could exhibit tissue tropism. Kindly share your experience and expert advice on said query.
Looking forward
Thank you
