Wolbachia infections in natural Anopheles populations affect egg laying and negatively correlate with Plasmodium development
Wolbachia bacteria infect insects and could potentially be used to control populations of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. Here, the authors provide evidence that natural Wolbachia infections affect the rate of egg laying and are associated with reduced presence of malaria parasites in Anophelesmosq...
