Oxitec and MosquitoMate in the United States: lessons for the future of gene drive mosquito control
27 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
In response to growing concerns regarding mosquito-borne diseases, scientists are developing novel systems of vector control. Early examples include Oxitec’s OX513A genetically-engineered mosquito and MosquitoMate’s Wolbachia-infected mosquito, and systems using ‘gene-drive’ are in development. Systems based on genetic engineering are controversial and institutions around the world are grappling with the question...
