A Microbe That Stops Malaria

It is interesting to read that just as humans are affected by the worst new disease in a century, covid-19, there seems to have come a breakthrough in the fight against the old disease malaria. A microbe found in some malaria mosquitos seem to give them full protection against malaria. This would alsoprevent the mosquitos from spreading the disease to humans. It seems like the microbe does not affect mosquitos negatively and it is found naturally in a fair amount of them in Kenya. Now the only question seems to be how to spread the microbe to more mosquitoes. It is promising.
