Gene editing in Farm Animals: A Step Change for Eliminating Epidemics on our Doorstep?

2021-04-20

Abstract excerpt

Recent breakthroughs in gene-editing technologies that can render individuals fully resistant to infections may offer unprecedented opportunities for controlling future epidemics. Yet, their potential for reducing disease spread are poorly understood as the necessary theoretical framework for estimating epidemiological effects arising from gene editing applications is currently lacking. Here, we develop semi-stoch...
