The mosquito microbiota is known to naturally limit malaria transmission, acting directly on parasites and via effects on mosquito immunity and fitness. Using genetically modified bacteria and mosquitoes, two studies uncover new potential of this multipotent prospective tool to reduce disease transmission.
蚊子微生物组被认为可以自然限制疟疾传播，直接作用于寄生虫，并通过影响蚊子的免疫力和适应性来发挥作用。两项研究利用遗传修饰的细菌和蚊子，揭示了这种多能潜在工具在减少疾病传播方面的新潜力。
