Fighting Malaria By Modifying Friendly Bacteria In Mosquito Gut

By genetically modifying gut bacteria in the malaria mosquito, US researchers have found a potentially powerful way to fight malaria.

Writing in a paper published online on 16 July in PNAS, the researchers suggest their findings provide a "foundation for the use of genetically modified symbiotic bacteria as a powerful tool to combat malaria"...
