Bacteria found to block the transmission of mosquito-borne infections show long-term viability as a biocontrol agent, alleviating concern that this benefit could diminish over time, according to a study published in the journal Nature Microbiology.
The researchers also identified a gene that could explain how the bacteria disrupts the spread of disease.
