Mosquito Genetics may Offer Clues to Malaria Control

An African mosquito species originated the ability to transmit malaria during their recent evolution, states new study. The discovery could have implications for malaria control by enabling researchers to detect and target specific genetic changes associated with the capacity to transmit a parasite. Malaria causes as many as 907,000 deaths each year, mostly among children in sub-Saharan Africa. iAnopheles/i mosquitoes, which bite mainly between ...
