Mechanism by which fungus kills mosquito larvae - verdict of accidental death

The findings of a ground breaking study by a team of academics led by Swansea University could have far-reaching implications for the control of mosquito larvae across the world. The study into the mechanisms by which the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae kills mosquito larvae has been published by the world renown PLOS One research journal. No other study to date has examined the fungus-mosquito interactions in such detail.
