Current efforts have proven inadequate to stop the transmission of Plasmodium parasites, and hence the spread of malaria, by Anopheles mosquitoes. Therefore, a novel arsenal of strategies for inhibiting Plasmodium infection of mosquitoes is urgently needed. In this paper, we summarize research on two approaches to malaria control, a low-tech strategy based on parasite inhibition by the mosquito's natural microflora, and a high-tech strategy using genetic modification of mosquitoes that renders them resistant to infection and discuss advantages and disadvantages for both approaches.
目前的努力已经证明不足以阻止疟原虫寄生虫通过按蚊传播,因此急需一套新的策略来抑制疟原虫对蚊子的感染。在本文中,我们总结了两种疟疾控制方法的研究,一种是基于利用蚊子天然菌群抑制寄生虫的低技术策略,另一种是利用遗传修饰使蚊子具有抗感染力的高技术策略,并讨论了这两种方法的优缺点。
