    Mosquitoes infected with the Wolbachia bacteria are unable to infect humans with diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, and possibly malaria. The bacteria the amount of productive eggs the mosquitoes can lay which makes passing along the bacteria difficult. To combat this the mosquitoes that are infected with the bacteria are also given a insecticide resistance gene. Because insecticide is a common preventative measure in parts of the world where the diseases are common, only those mosquitoes that are unable to spread disease would survive and pass along the bacteria.

    Scientists have discovered that the removal of the protein calpain can prevent the spread of infectious bacteria that have acquired immunity to antibiotics. Bacteria such as Listeria use the protein for growth and movement to different cellular compartments. The removal of calpain prevents bacterial movement which in turn inhibits growth.
