Control of mosquito-borne pathogens using genetically-modified vectors has been proposed
as a promising tool to complement conventional control strategies. CRISPR-based homing
gene drive systems have made transgenic technologies more accessible within the scientific
community. Evaluation of transgenic mosquito performance and comparisons with wild-type
counterparts in small laboratory cage trials provide valuable data for the design of
subsequent field cage experiments and experimental assessments to refine the strategies …
