Effect of Microsporidia MB infection on the development and fitness of Anopheles arabiensis under different diet regimes [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Microsporidia MB (MB) is a naturally occurring symbiont of Anopheles and has recently been identified as having a potential to inhibit the transmission of Plasmodium in mosquitoes.

Investigation of prevalence and phylogenetic classification of Microsporidia MB and insecticide target site insensitivity resistance mutations in Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Anopheles funestus mosquitoes from Busia, Kenya [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Microsporidia MB, a Plasmodium-transmission-impairing symbiont in Anopheles arabiensis, has malaria control potential. This study assessed its prevalence and phylogeny in An. gambiae s.l. and An.

Willingness to accept and participate in a Microsporidia MB-based mosquito release strategy: a community-based rapid assessment in western Kenya [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Microsporidia MB, an endosymbiont naturally found in Anopheles mosquitoes inhibits transmission of Plasmodium and is a promising candidate for a transmission-blocking strategy that may involve mosquito release.

Laboratory An. gambiae s.l. mosquito colonies show sustained high transmission of Microsporidia sp. MB and a small decrease in egg viability [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionMicrosporidia sp. MB, a microsporidian symbiont found naturally in Anopheles mosquitoes, has potential as a novel malaria control tool since it can inhibit Plasmodium development and transmission. The most feasible MB-based Plasmodium control

Mathematical modelling of the interactive dynamics of wild and Microsporidia MB-infected mosquitoes. [PDF]

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE, 2023
A recent discovery highlighted that mosquitoes infected with Microsporidia MB are unable to transmit the Plasmodium to humans. Microsporidia MB is a symbiont transmitted vertically and horizontally in the mosquito population, and these transmission routes are known to favor the persistence of the parasite in the mosquito population.

Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals Evolutionary Features of Glugea plecoglossi, a Fish-Infecting Microsporidian Parasite of Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) [PDF]

Biology
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites with extensively reduced genomes, yet substantial genomic variation occurs among lineages. Glugea plecoglossi infects ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) and forms conspicuous xenomas, but its genome ...

Spatial Distribution of Microsporidia MB Along Clinal Gradient and the Impact of Its Infection on Pyrethroid Resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. Mosquitoes from Nigeria and Niger Republic

Parasitologia
Microsporidia MB (MB), a promising biological control agent, suppresses Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles mosquitoes. This study examined the spatial distribution of MB infection in natural populations of An. gambiae s.l.
