It is believed that the new mosquito developed genetically claims to be a natural ‘flying vaccinator’ to spread vaccine against malaria. This is a change against the normal paradigm of spreading disease as the mosquito spreads vaccine.

The research led by Jichi Medical University in Japan, revealed that it is an evolutionary development in the field of genetic engineering as the mosquitoes aids in resolving the control of the epidemic.

The technique aimed at the salivary glands of Anopheles stephensi, the main vectors of human malaria. It restricts the alimentary system of the parasite and at the same time, aims to curb the disease with this ‘mini machine’.

The lead scientist Prof Shigeto Yoshida stead that, "Following bites, protective immune responses are induced, just like a conventional vaccination but with no pain and no cost."
