Article Synopsis
- Scientists found a special bacteria called 'Candidatus Tisiphia' that lives in a type of mosquito called Anopheles plumbeus, which can spread diseases like malaria and West Nile virus.
- They studied these mosquitoes in Germany for 10 years and found that almost all of them (95%) were infected with this bacteria, and this infection didn't change much with different weather conditions.
- Researchers also looked at the bacteria's DNA and learned that it might help mosquitoes reproduce and spread diseases better, opening the door for more studies on how this bacteria affects mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
