Control of Aedes mosquito populations using recombinant microalgae expressing short hairpin RNAs and their effect on plankton
26 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
New biocontrol strategies are urgently needed to combat vector-borne infectious diseases. This study presents a low-cost method to produce a potential mosquito insecticide that utilizes the microalgae released into suburban water sources to control mosquito populations. Chlorella microalgae are ubiquitous in local waters, which were chosen as the host for genetic transfection. This species facilitated the...
