Genetically Modified Mosquitoes Block Malaria in Tanzania
Groundbreaking Step in Malaria Control In a landmark development, researchers in Tanzania have created genetically modified mosquitoes that hinder the malaria parasite from completing its life cycle. By introducing naturally occurring molecules from frogs and bees into the mosquitoes, the team aims to stop Plasmodium parasites from developing inside the vector, potentially reducing transmission to…
