Fighting malaria with engineered symbiotic bacteria from vector mosquitoes.
The most vulnerable stages of Plasmodium development occur in the lumen of the mosquito midgut, a compartment shared with symbiotic bacteria. Here, we describe a strategy that uses symbiotic bacteria to deliver antimalaria effector molecules to the midgut lumen, thus rendering host mosquitoes refractory to malaria infection. The Escherichia coli hemolysin A secretion system was used to promote ...
متن کاملFighting Arbovirus Transmission: Natural and Engineered Control of Vector Competence in Aedes Mosquitoes
Control of aedine mosquito vectors, either by mosquito population reduction or replacement with refractory mosquitoes, may play an essential role in the fight against arboviral diseases. In this review, we will focus on the development and application of biological approaches, both natural or engineered, to limit mosquito vector competence for arboviruses. The study of mosquito antiviral immuni...
متن کاملPaternal transmission of symbiotic bacteria in malaria vectors
Conclusions In this primer we have introduced the process of Drosophila oogenesis and demonstrated the ways in which it is currently being used to investigate key questions in cell biology. It is a system simple enough to be tractable yet complex enough to allow the study of diverse cell behaviours. Drosophila oogenesis has provided important insight in the past and should continue to do so in ...
متن کاملMalaria Control with Transgenic Mosquitoes
Malaria has been eliminated from a large part of the world. By the mid-twentieth century both North America and Europe were free of the disease, although both had suffered greatly during the prior century [1,2]. While a variety of means were used to achieve this eradication, the most important are thought to be reducing the number of breeding sites for malaria vectors and improving residential ...
متن کاملFighting bacteria with its own weaponry?
For many years, intrapleural administration of fi brinolytics and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) was a controversial issue in the management of complicated parapneumonic eff usion and empyema. 1 Th eir eff ectiveness was assessed in a large clinical trial (the second Multicenter Intrapleural Sepsis Trial) . 2 Coadministration of tissue plasminogen activator and DNase was benefi cial in terms of radi...
