About
What they do
Michigan State University researchers are developing Wolbachia-based approaches to control the mosquitoes that transmit malaria.1,2 This includes efforts to establish stable Wolbachia infections that make Anopheles mosquitoes less able to transmit malaria, and work engineering Anopheles mosquitoes to express Wolbachia genes that cause conditional infertility as a way to suppress mosquito populations.2 Their U.S. R&D is based in East Lansing, Michigan.2 The work spans the discovery and development stages.2
