Integrating gene drives with established pest controls to mitigate spillover risk

2025-09-18

Abstract excerpt

Gene drives—artificial genetic constructs that can rapidly spread in a population due to biased inheritance—are a promising tool for controlling disease vectors and invasive species. While gene drives can eradicate target populations within several generations, their unintended spillover into non-target populations poses serious ecological concerns. Here, we examine how integrating gene drives with established pes...
