  "summary": "Symbiont-based approaches offer a promising strategy for reducing malaria transmission by suppressing Plasmodium development in Anopheles mosquitoes. Microsporidia MB, a naturally occurring microsporidian symbiont of Anopheles arabiensis, inhibits Plasmodium falciparum development in the laboratory, but its efficacy under natural transmission conditions is unknown. Here we monitored Microsporidia…",
