INVESTIGATION: Molecular detection and maternal transmission of a bacterial symbiont Asaia species in field-caught Anopheles mosquitoes from Cameroon
Nowadays, the development of new alternative control methods to prevent malaria transmission is urgently needed. The endosymbiont Asaia has emerged as a promising candidate for paratransgenic control of malaria. That’s why this study by Grace Maffo Tatsinkou aimed at investigating the prevalence and maternal transmission of Asaia in the natural population of Anopheles mosquitoes in…
