Genetic biocontrol aims to suppress or modify populations of species to protect public
health, agriculture, and biodiversity. Advancements in genome engineering technologies …

Malaria remains a persistent global public health challenge because of the limitations of
current prevention tools. The use of transgenic mosquitoes incapable of transmitting malaria …

Lipophorin is an essential, highly expressed lipid transport protein that is secreted and
circulates in insect hemolymph. We hijacked the Anopheles coluzzii Lipophorin gene to …

The field-testing and eventual adoption of genetically-engineered mosquitoes (GEMs) to
control vector-borne pathogen transmission will require them meeting safety criteria …

CRISPR homing gene drives have considerable potential for managing populations of
medically and agriculturally significant insects. They operate by Cas9 cleavage followed by …

Despite efforts to explore the genome of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, the Y
chromosome of this species remains enigmatic. The large number of repetitive and …

In the rapidly evolving landscape of innovation, the early identification of emerging topics is
crucial across diverse research domains. This study views weak signals as the preliminary …

Indoor insecticide applications are the primary tool for reducing malaria transmission in the
Solomon Archipelago, a region where Anopheles farauti is the only common malaria vector …

Novel mosquito genetic control tools, such as CRISPR-based gene drives, hold great
promise in reducing the global burden of vector-borne diseases. As these technologies …

Sustainable reductions in African malaria transmission require innovative tools for mosquito
control. One proposal involves the use of low-threshold gene drive in Anopheles vector …
