Asaia Explained

Asaia is a genus of Gram-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacteria from the family of Acetobacteraceae which occur in tropical plants.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} Asaia might be able to control malaria by massively colonizing the midgut and the male reproductive system of the mosquito Anopheles stephensi^{[1] [2] [6]}
