This invasive mosquito thrives in the type of habitat commonly found in urban areas. This means that malaria could become more prevalent in African cities.

Los mosquitos con microsporidia MB (un pequeño hongo parásito) no se infectan de paludismo. Si conseguimos infectar a grandes poblaciones de anopheles con este parásito, podríamos atenuar o erradicar la malaria.
