Breeding water parameters are important determinants of Microsporidia MB prevalence in the aquatic stages of Anopheles mosquitoes

Abstract The fungus, Microsporidia MB disrupts Plasmodium development in Anopheles mosquitoes. It has been associated with An. gambiae and An. coluzzii (Ghana), and An. arabiensis (Kenya) from rice fields. As a tool for vector/disease control, its ecological distribution and factors that determine their occurrence must be defined.

A Phylum-Level Phylogenetic Classification of Zygomycete Fungi Based on Genome-Scale Data [PDF]

, 2016
Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of multicellular sporocarps, and production of coenocytic hyphae, all with some exceptions ...

Temperature modulates the dissemination potential of Microsporidia MB, a malaria-blocking endosymbiont of Anopheles mosquitoes

Abstract The endosymbiont Microsporidia MB is a promising malaria control strategy that inhibits the development of Plasmodium naturally in Anopheles mosquitoes.

Seasonal variability in the distribution of <i>Microsporidia</i> <i>MB</i> infection in <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> in a rice-growing area of Benin

International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences
Against a backdrop of vector resistance to insecticides, research efforts are focusing on designing new tools, such as those based on symbiotic bacteria. In this context, Microsporidia MB has been identified as a promising endosymbiont. The aim of this article was to identify the presence of Microsporidia MB in Anopheles gambiae, its seasonal ...
