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.

Mixed infection of the mosquitoes' larvae of the first age group by densonucleasis virus and entomopathogenic strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Serratia marcescens enhanced viral infection in the presence of toxicosis induced by exogenic entomotoxic bacterial metabolites. Possibility of interaction between bacterial cells and the mosquito densonucleasis virus, producing an adverse effect on the duration of the disease, was demonstrated. Duration of the disease provoked by bacterioviral infection of the larvae was of a specific character: nontypical degeneration and untimely replacement of intestinal epithelium at the fourth larval stage were observed along with acute viral lesions of all the tissues.
