《自然》网站5月9日报道,最近,一个由美国密歇根大学、中国广东中山大学等单位科学家组成的联合研究小组,通过给蚊子注射一种细菌,使其与蚊子形成稳定的共生关系,第一次使蚊子具有抵抗疟原虫的免疫能力,且这种免疫能力能传给后代。从理论上讲,这将导致携带疟原虫的蚊子越来越少,有助于从根本上遏制疟疾。新研究由中山大学-密歇根大学生物控制热带疾病联合中心奚志勇(音译)领导。他们用沃尔巴克氏体(Wolbachia)细菌感染了斯氏按蚊(中
Recently, a joint research team composed of scientists from the University of Michigan and Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong Province, China, injected a bacterium into the mosquito to form a stable symbiotic relationship with mosquitoes. According to the website “Nature” reported on May 9, Once the mosquitoes have immunity against Plasmodium immunity, and this immunity can pass on to future generations. In theory, this will lead to fewer and fewer mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites and help to fundamentally contain malaria. The new study is led by Xi Zhiyong from Sun Yat-sen University-The Joint Center for Biological Control of Tropical Diseases at the University of Michigan. They infected Anopheles stephensi with Wolbachia bacteria
