Genomics of sex determination in the mosquito Aedes aegypti

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika arboviruses, all of which are growing public health concerns globally. Emerging technologies aim to control mosquito populations and limit disease transmission by releasing genetically modified mosquitoes, which could be improved by reliably manipulating sex determination. This relies on a strong understanding of the genetic basis o...
