Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. One of the most extensive malaria control measures proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which has received better attention in recent years, is the biological control of Anopheles mosquitoes. In this concept, Wickerhamomyces anomalus yeast has received more attention from researchers in this field. In the present review, we have investigated the anti-malaria effect of Wickerhamomyces anomalous. In the present review, we searched PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Wiley databases for relevant articles. Keywords used in the inquiries were biological control, yeast, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, malaria, Anopheles mosquito, and Plasmodium. Wickerhamomyces anomalus has a wide range of anti-microbial activity. By producing killer toxins (KT), this yeast can kill microorganisms, so it has called killer yeast. This was investigated and proven using monoclonal antibody, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence (IFA) technique. It has also been used in various studies regarding the biological control of malaria by killing Anopheles mosquito larvae. Considering the proven lethal effect of toxins produced by Wickerhamomyces anomalus, the results could be a big step forward towards ending the life cycle of malaria parasites in the body of vector mosquitos.
