One bacterium can infect mosquito reduce his spread disease can
Www.xinhuanet.com London Cable of October 2 (reporter is yellow) The mosquito is the spread carriers of many kinds of parasites . British scientific research personnel find recently, use a kind of special bacterial infection mosquito, not only can shorten its life-span, still can impel the immune system of the mosquito to attack parasites, thus contribute to preventing and controlling lymphocytic filariasis.
British Oxford University releases the press Communique to say on the 2nd, have discovered, a kind of Wolbach's fungus can make the life-span of the mosquito shorten by half, and lymphocytic Disease protozoacide of filariasis needs multiplying for some time in mosquito's body and can reach the intensity making people ill, it equivalent to reduces protozoacide of these diseases to multiply to, cause the probability of degree of the course of disease to shorten the life-span of the mosquito.
The researcher of Oxford University finds, after the mosquito is infected with Wolbach's fungus, the immune system of the mosquito will also receive " L Shift " ,Attack disease protozoacide of the lymphocytic filariasis,etc.. In some body of mosquito this bacterial infection, the quantity of relevant disease protozoacide is only equivalent to 1,500 in the ordinary mosquito's body of theirs.
Researchers say, their discovery proves, can prevent and control lymphocytic filariasis with Wolbach's fungus. At the next stage, scientific research personnel will pay close attention to the fact whether could help to prevent and control malaria,etc. and disease transmitted by the mosquito too with this kind of bacterium.
The researcher of Oxford University introduces, more than 1 hundred million people are infected with lymphocytic filariasis at present in the whole world, the spread in the tropical area is particularly serious. This kind of disease will lead to the fact patient's lymphoid tissue is swollen and great, will make the skin increase under some situations thick, the surface is coarse, even hard as the skin of the elephant, so also called the elephant hide disease.
The relevant report of this research issued in newest U.S.A.>On the magazine.
