First concrete evidence for presence of Wolbachia in malaria-transmitting mosquitoes

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Study raises hopes that bacteria used to control dengue virus may also help prevent malaria transmission A bacteria that makes it harder for viruses to reproduce inside mosquitoes is also found naturally in mosquitoes that transmit malaria, according to a new study in Current Biology. The study, conducted by an international team of researchers including from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), found high-density natural Wolbachia infections in Anopheles mosquito populations. Excitingly, they also showed that two strains of this bacteria are maternally transmitted to following generations, and have genes that are associated with the ability to rapidly invade mosquito populations.

demeilloni mosquito populations, the vectors of the malaria parasite. The research builds on initial work done by the researchers, including from Dr Tom Walker, Associate Professor and Sir Henry Dale Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Fellow at LSHTM and the study’s first author. Dr Walker said: “ Wolbachia bacteria have been used in mosquito biocontrol strategies to reduce the transmission of arboviruses such as dengue in Aedes mosquitoes. It reduced dengue incidence by 77% in Wolbachia-treated communities. It is exciting to see that we now have the evidence that opens the possibility to do the same against malaria.” While Wolbachia bacteria is found naturally in many insects, natural infections in mosquitoes are less common requiring researchers to artificially create

15 May 2021 Over the past 40 years, Medical Care Development International (MCDI), the international health division of Medical Care Development, Inc. (MCD), has worked to strengthen health systems through practical, evidence-based and high-impact interventions across several public health sectors in over 40 countries. MCDI collaborates with donors, national governments, the private sector, health agencies, communities and local stakeholder to improve the health outcomes of vulnerable populations. By joining MCDI, employees join a diverse network of highly capable individuals, many of whom are experts in their field. Project Overview Since the beginning of 2019 until 2023, the former Bioko Island Malaria Control Project (BIMCP) and the Equatorial Guinea Malaria Vaccine Initiative (EGMVI) have merged into the Bioko Island Malaria Elimination Project (BIMEP). The BIMEP is funded by Marathon Oil and partners, and the Government of Equatorial Guinea (EG). The Project implementation wi

Tories need to stop this endless talk of an independence referendum

letters Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, a man with no policies except the refusal to hold a second independence referendum YET another glossy leaflet from DRoss and the Baroness via Royal Mail this week, this time a threefold, poster-sized, full colour one. Where do they get the money for it? It was also cunningly designed so that, whichever side was up when it landed on the mat, the message was the same –How to stop another independence referendum. Included were cuttings from newspapers which in some cases, though not exactly untrue, conveyed a false impression, in particular “SNP to plough £600k into indyref”, with no clarity that this was from PARTY funds, not public. That prompted me to wonder just what the grand total of expenditure was on the now disbanded Union Unit, set up specifically to fight the Unionist side of the constitutional question, and whether this came from party funds or the public purse. I think we should be told.
