A GHANAIAN research institute says
that after 9 years of research, it has
identified a bacteria which can
control breeding of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
Janet Ofori, principal research
officer of the Accra-based Institute
of Aquatic Biology, says, "We have
identified a bacterial strain,
Bacillus sphaerius, which has been
found to have a toxic effect on mosquito larvae." The bacteria is easy
to produce, store and transport,
she claims.
