Our project: Our team wants to help stopping the propagation of malaria, a disease which has a death toll of over a million per year. Malaria is transmitted by the parasite Plasmodium whose life cycle is well-studied: The mosquitoes are the vectors which propagate the infection to humans. The infected human will then again infect mosquitoes consuming a blood meal which then completes the cycle. Bacteria of the genus Asaia have been proven to be stably associated to a malaria propagating mosquitoe, Anopheles stephensi [1]. We plan to take advantage of this and use engineered Asaia to block the Plasmodium cycle.  Your team picture | |
