Scientists have come up with a new approach to controlling malaria -- focusing on killing the parasite inside mosquitoes rather than trying to kill the entire bug, according to research published Thursday.
Scientists in the US and Great Britain have genetically engineered a fungus that can kill the parasite inside the mosquito that transmits malaria. The insect does not have to ingest the fungus. It only has to touch it for it to penetrate its body.
