Vector dynamics influence spatially imperfect genetic interventions against disease
2020-07-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background and objectives</h4> Genetic engineering and similar technologies offer promising new approaches to controlling human diseases by blocking transmission from vectors. However, in spatially structured populations, imperfect coverage of the vector will leave pockets in which the parasite can persist. Yet movement by humans may disrupt this local persistence and facilitate eradication when these pockets...
