摘要:

疟疾是一种由疟原虫感染引发的蚊媒传染病。由于缺乏高效的疫苗,目前疟疾防控主要依靠控制蚊虫的杀虫剂以及抗疟药物。然而,杀虫剂的滥用导致蚊虫产生抗药性、以及耐抗疟药物疟原虫株的出现和扩散,使疟疾防控面临严峻挑战。近年来疟疾防控进展缓慢,亟需发展新的防控策略和工具。利用肠道共生菌阻断疟原虫传播的技术是一种新型的源头防控策略,该策略近年来取得显著的进展。本文对该技术的发展及研究现状进行综述,并对应用该技术面临的挑战进行探讨。

Abstract:

Malaria is a mosquito borne parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium infection. In the absence of highly effective vaccines, controlling malaria mainly relies on mosquito-controlling insecticides and antimalarial drugs. However, increased resistance to insecticides among mosquitoes and the emergence and spread of antimalarial drug-resistant parasites have become significant challenges in the fight against malaria. In recent years, global progress toward malaria prevention and control has remained stagnant, and new strategies to control malaria are urgently needed. Symbiotic control is a new strategy that uses mosquito gut symbiotic microorganisms to control vector mosquitoes or reduce vector competence. This strategy has made remarkable progress in recent years. Here, the advances in the development and research of this technology are reviewed, and the challenges in the application of symbiotic control of malaria are discussed.

Key words: Malaria, Anopheles, Plasmodium, Symbiotic bacteria, Symbiotic control
