Abstract:
Midgut bacteria in anopheline mosquitoes could control the mosquito populations and block Plasmodium development. The article summarizes the role of bacteria in the mosquito nutrition, the midgut bacterial flora in anopheline mosquitoes and their application in disease control, transstadial transfer of bacteria within mosquitoes, the molecular immune responses of the mosquito to bacteria and the feasibility of applying bacteria to control malaria.
