[Basic research on the use of mosquito spiroplasmas in the control of the major tropical diseases transmitted by mosquitoes].
An increasing number of experimental findings suggest that Spiroplasma taiwanense (Class Mollicutes) has considerable potential for inclusion in integrated mosquito vector control programmes. These experimental findings are outlined in conjunction with preferred strategies for its eventual use as a biological control agent.
