The <i>Plasmodium</i> transmission-blocking symbiont, <i>Microsporidia MB</i> , is vertically transmitted through <i>Anopheles arabiensis</i> germline stem cells
2024-06-17
Abstract excerpt
Microsporidia MB is a promising candidate for developing a symbiont-based strategy for malaria control because it disrupts the capacity of An. arabiensis to transmit the Plasmodium parasite. The symbiont is predominantly localized in the reproductive organs and is transmitted vertically from mother to offspring and horizontally (sexually) during mating. Due to the contribution of both transmission routes, Micro...
