Feasible Introgression of an Anti-pathogen Transgene into an Urban Mosquito Population without Using Gene-Drive
3 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Introgressing anti-pathogen constructs into wild vector populations could reduce disease transmission. It is generally assumed that such introgression would require linking an anti-pathogen gene with a selfish genetic element or similar technologies. Yet none of the proposed transgenic anti-pathogen gene-drive mechanisms are likely to be implemented as public health measures in the near future. Thus,...
