Genetically modified fungi kill malaria-causing parasites in mosquitoes, February 25, 2011 News Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)

nih.gov — “Spraying malaria-transmitting mosquitoes with a genetically modified fungus can kill the malaria parasite without harming the mosquito, potentially reducing malaria transmission to humans, according to a new study published in the journal Science. Funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, the study was led by Raymond J. St. Leger, Ph.D., of the University of Maryland, College Park.View full resource at nih.gov
