Asaia is a genus of Gram-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacteria from the family Acetobacteraceae which occur in tropical plants. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]} Asaia might be able to control malaria by massively colonizing the midgut and the male reproductive system of the mosquito Anopheles stephensi ^{[2] [3] [7]}
