Strategy for introduction of foreign genes into field populations of Chagas disease vectors.

1999-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Paratransgenesis, a strategy for control of certain arthropod-borne infectious diseases, involves expression of disease transmission-blocking molecules by genetically altered symbiotic bacteria of insect vectors. Field use of this approach relies on a method for dispersal of genetically transformed bacteria to their host insects. Rhodococcus rhodnii, a symbiotic bacterium of the Chagas disease vector, Rhodnius pro...
