Natural <i>Wolbachia</i> infections are common in the major malaria vectors in Central Africa

2018-06-11

Abstract excerpt

During the last decade, the endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia has emerged as a biological tool for vector disease control. However, for long time, it was believed that Wolbachia was absent in natural populations of Anopheles. The recent discovery that species within the Anopheles gambiae complex hosts Wolbachia in natural conditions has opened new opportunities for malaria control research in Africa. Here, we...
