Researchers discovered and identified 206 fungal strains from 30 different types living in mosquito breeding waters in the Amazon. These fungi come from three main groups, with the most common fungi being Paraconiothyrium, Fusarium, and Microsphaeropsis. The findings show that natural water habitats with vegetation and fish support more diverse fungi than human-altered environments. Some of these fungi could potentially be used to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes naturally.
