A model for the control of malaria using genetically modified vectors.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 May 2011

Diaz H, Ramirez A A, Olarte A, Clavijo C

Abstract excerpt

Recent works have considered the problem of using transgenic mosquitoes to control a malaria epidemic. These insects have been genetically engineered to reduce their capacity to infect humans with malaria parasites. We analyze a model of the mosquito population dynamics when genetically modified individuals are introduced into a wild type population so that the effect of their introduction can be assessed. The...
