SX and JRP designed and conceptualized the study. SX, DA, RS, JL, CSM,
NHR, and JRP coordinated the fieldwork. SX, DA, and JL conducted field
sampling of oviposition sites and field oviposition experiments. SX and
HD designed the volatile collection in Rabai and performed the GC-MS
analysis. SX performed the lab work to generate the data on microbial
density and bacterial community composition. SX, CSM, and NHR
established mosquito colonies, and SX performed the laboratory
oviposition assays. SX wrote the first draft of the manuscript. JRP
provided funding, coordinated the entire study, and interpreted results
with SX. All authors provided critical feedback on the manuscript.
