Mosquito ovary infected with bacteria TEM
Mosquito ovary infected with bacteria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an ovary from a Culex pipiens mosquito infected with Walbachia sp. bacteria (yellow). This bacteria is being studied as a potential biological control against mosquitoes that spread diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. It shortens the lifespan of infected mosquitoes by half. This makes the mosquitos lifespan shorter than the incubation period of the pathogen, and the mosquito dies before it is able to pass the disease to a mammal host. Magnification: x55, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of a mosquito ovary infected with Walbachia sp. bacteria, depicted in vibrant yellow hues. The transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals the intricate details of this fascinating biological phenomenon. Scientists are studying these bacteria as a potential solution for controlling disease-spreading mosquitoes like Culex pipiens, which transmit malaria and dengue fever. Walbachia sp. bacteria have been found to significantly reduce the lifespan of infected mosquitoes by half. This remarkable discovery holds great promise in combating mosquito-borne diseases since it shortens their lifespan to less than the incubation period of the pathogen they carry. As a result, infected mosquitoes perish before having the chance to transmit diseases to mammal hosts. At an impressive magnification of x55,000 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, this image offers us an extraordinary glimpse into nature's microscopic realm. It highlights the complex interplay between insects and bacteria within their reproductive systems. The study of such interactions is crucial for advancing our understanding of parasitology and developing effective pest control strategies that harness natural biological mechanisms rather than relying solely on chemical interventions. This photograph from Science Photo Library serves as a powerful visual testament to ongoing research efforts aimed at safeguarding public health by exploring innovative approaches in medicine and biology.
