Germline transformation of the West Nile Virus and avian malaria vector <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> Say using the piggyBac transposon system
2023-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Culex quinquefasciatus Say is a mosquito which acts as a vector for numerous diseases including West Nile Virus, lymphatic filariasis and avian malaria, over a broad geographical range. As the effectiveness of insecticidal mosquito control methods declines, the need has grown to develop genetic control methods to curb the spread of disease. The piggyBac transposon system - the most widely used genetic transformati...
