Genetic manipulation of vectors: A potential novel approach for control of vector-borne diseases

12 Sept 2000

Abstract excerpt

Kokoza et al. (1) recently reported the genetic engineering of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to express abundantly an anti-microbial immune effector molecule in the hemolymph of a vector. In the realm of vector-borne diseases, this is a very significant event with provocative implications. Vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, leishmania, trypanosomiasis, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile encephalitis, etc., are...
