The sequence of a male-specific genome region containing the sex determination switch in <i>Aedes aegypti</i>

2017-04-08

Abstract excerpt

Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of several important arboviruses. Among the methods of vector control to limit transmission of disease are genetic strategies that involve the release of sterile or genetically modified non-biting males (Alphey 2014), which has generated interest in manipulating mosquito sex ratios (Gilles et al. 2014; Adelman and Tu 2016). Sex determination in Ae. aegypti is controlled by a...
