Engineering the control of mosquito-borne infectious diseases / P. Gabrieli, A. Smidler, F. Catteruccia. - In: GENOME BIOLOGY. - ISSN 1474-760X. - 15:11(2014), pp. 535.1-535.9. [10.1186/s13059-014-0535-7]
Abstract:
Recent advances in genetic engineering are bringing new promise for controlling mosquito populations that transmit deadly pathogens. Here we discuss past and current efforts to engineer mosquito strains that are refractory to disease transmission or are suitable for suppressing wild disease-transmitting populations.
