Abstract
Symbiotic bacteria of the genus Asaia have been suggesting that this organism could be utilized, in the proposed as tools for control of mosquito-borne diseases, future, as a malaria control tool. specifically malaria. However, safety issues are a major concern for paratransgenesis strategies. The aim of this study is to investigate, with immunofluorescence assays Introduction and quantitative PCR experiments, whether Asaia spp. is circulating among humans. All human sera and whole Asaia spp. are acetic acid bacteria associated with different blood samples analyzed were negative for Asaia spp., thus mosquitoes of the genera Anopheles and Aedes. These
