The Flying Public Health Tool: Genetically Modified Mosquitoes and Malaria Control

2013-03-01

Abstract excerpt

For many in the scientific world, technologies of genetic modification offer a promising method to control vector-borne infectious diseases such as malaria. Nevertheless, the recent releases of the first genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes into the wild have triggered heated discussions. How is the human–mosquito relationship being reconfigured through the development of GM mosquitoes? The scientific modification...
