Converting Malaria Vector Mosquitoes Into Non Vectors Via Minimal Genetic Modifications Sept 30 2020

How Do We Bring Malaria Vector Control Back On Track? - BOHEMIA Project

How Do We Bring Malaria Vector Control Back On Track? - BOHEMIA Project Here we explore how minimal genetic modifications of endogenous mosquito genes can convert them directly into non autonomous gene drives without disrupting their expression. Dr. george christophides from imperial college, london presents his most recent research on mosquito immunity, plasmodium mosquito interactions and the development of population modification type.

Disarming Mosquitoes As Malaria Vectors, Health News, ET HealthWorld The advent of crispr cas9 mediated gene drives may advance this mechanism of control. in this review, use and progress of gene drives for vector control, particularly for malaria, is discussed. Gene drive technology allows the spread and persistence of the desired genes/elements within targeted populations. the success of transgenic mosquitoes in spreading and maintaining desired genes/elements in the field relies on their performance compared with wild types. We assess the propensity of these modifications to interfere with the development of plasmodium falciparum and their effect on fitness. because of their inherent simplicity and passive mode of drive such traits could form part of an accepted testing pathway of gene drives for malaria eradication. This review examines an alternative strategy for malaria control, namely the genetic modification of mosquitoes to make them inefficient vectors for the parasite.

This review examines an alternative strategy for malaria control, namely the genetic modification of mosquitoes to make them inefficient vectors for the parasite. Here, we review recent advances on genetic approaches for interfering with the malaria parasite cycle in vector mosquitoes and consider the challenges in the translation of laboratory findings to field applications. Here we review the development of mosquito transgenesis and its application for malaria control, highlighting the transgenic expression of antiparasitic effector genes, inactivation of host factor genes, and manipulation of mirnas and lncrnas. Here we present an overview of the characteristics of mosquito tes. we highlight several mosquito tes that appear to be transpositionally active and a few newly discovered elements that offer interesting perspectives on te diversity, classification, and transposition. Releasing genetically modified parasite resistant vectors into the field to replace wild populations is based on the idea of blocking the parasite infection or transmission in the mosquito, thereby reducing vector competence.
