Fish can fight malaria mosquitoes
Nairobi - Kenyan researchers have hailed a humble fish as the latest weapon in the battle to curb the spread of malaria.
Nile tilapia, a fish more usually seen on Kenyan dinner tables, was introduced to several abandoned fishponds in the west of the country.
By consuming mosquito larvae it managed to reduce numbers of two of the main malarial mosquitoes by more than 94%.
