Carrier Mosquitoes Malaria Evolve

Two strains of mosquitoes spreading malaria in Africa are genetically evolved to become the new species is different from previous. It is known from international research that led scientists from Imperial College London (ICL) of the strain M and S strains of Anopheles gambiae that exist in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Physically, the strain M and S were identical. However, genetically, they have different kinds of mosquitoes that were supposed to be distinguished. Genetic differences that make the effort to control the mosquito Anopheles gambiae populations ascertained only effective for one strain and not effective for other strains. Therefore, if the will is made of insecticides to eradicate mosquitoes, the insecticide should be effective for both types of strain.

Lead researcher, George Christophides of the Division of Cell and Molecular Biology at the ICL, as quoted by ScienceDaily, mentioned, malaria is a deadly disease. One in five deaths occurring in Africa are caused by malaria. "A good way to eradicate malaria is to control mosquitoes as carriers of disease," he said.

Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), 200 million people stricken with malaria worldwide, mostly in Africa. Malaria kills one child every 30 seconds.

Other researchers from the ICL, Mara Lawniczak, said the study shows, the evolution of malarial mosquitoes spreading much faster than previously thought. Therefore, genetic monitoring is hidden in the mosquito to do if they want to succeed in dealing with malaria since
strategies to cope with a different mosquito strains with strategies to deal with the other strains.
