Mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue and malaria, pose significant global health
burdens. Unfortunately, current control methods based on insecticides and environmental …

In this review we examine how exploiting the Wolbachia–mosquito relationship has become
an increasingly popular strategy for controlling arbovirus transmission. Field deployments of …

Antibodies have been used to prevent or treat viral infections since the nineteenth century,
but the full potential to use passive immunization for infectious diseases has yet to be …

Multiple viruses, including pathogenic viruses, bacteriophages, and even plant viruses,
cause a phenomenon termed superinfection exclusion whereby a currently infected cell is …

CRISPR-based gene-drive systems, which copy themselves via gene conversion mediated
by the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway, have the potential to revolutionize vector …

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

The growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a
global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the …

Mosquito-borne illnesses represent a significant global health peril, resulting in
approximately one million fatalities annually. West Nile, dengue, Zika, and malaria are …

Dengue is the most common viral infection spread by mosquitoes, prevalent in tropical
countries. The acute dengue virus (DENV) infection is a benign and primarily febrile illness …

Homing based gene drives (HGD) possess the potential to spread linked cargo genes into
natural populations and are poised to revolutionize population control of animals. Given that …
