Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to investigate the correlation of midgut flora of malaria vector and vectorial capacity in anopheline mosquito of Burukina Faso. We analyzed the vector flora, prevalence in vector, and prevalence in human using Malaria as the study model for vector-borne diseases.
As the result of the survey, it was demonstrated that the phenotypic variation of vector flora correlated to vectorial capacity of the mosquitoes. This finding indicated that artificial flora manipulation strategy to the vector insects is useful for the control of vector-borne diseases.
