Intrathoracic inoculation with the mosquito spiroplasma, Spiroplasma taïwanense Abalain-Colloc et al., was found to reduce significantly the survival of adult male and female Aedes aegypti (L.) and Anopheles stephensi Liston. This spiroplasma also reduced significantly the flight capacity of adult female Ae. aegypti 5-8 d after inoculation and adult female An. stephensi 4 d after inoculation. Adult female An. stephensi were incapable of flight 5 d after inoculation. As such, S. taïwanense joins Bacillus thuringiensis and B. sphaericus as bacteria known to be pathogenic for mosquito vectors.
用台湾螺旋体（Abalain-Colloc等人鉴定的螺旋体）进行胸腔接种，结果发现显著降低了成年埃及伊蚊和斯氏按蚊的雌雄成虫的存活率。这种螺旋体还显著降低了接种后5 - 8天的成年雌性埃及伊蚊和接种后4天的成年雌性斯氏按蚊的飞行能力。接种后5天，成年雌性斯氏按蚊无法飞行。因此，台湾螺旋体与苏云金芽孢杆菌和球形芽孢杆菌一样，是已知对蚊媒具有致病性的细菌。
