Genetic control of mosquitoes: population suppression strategies.
Over the last two decades, morbidity and mortality from malaria and dengue fever among other pathogens are an increasing Public Health problem. The increase in the geographic distribution of vectors is accompanied by the emergence of viruses and diseases in new areas. There are insufficient specific therapeutic drugs available and there are no reliable vaccines for malaria or dengue, although s...
متن کاملGenetic control of mosquitoes.
Genetics can potentially provide new, species-specific, environmentally friendly methods for mosquito control. Genetic control strategies aim either to suppress target populations or to introduce a harm-reducing novel trait. Different approaches differ considerably in their properties, especially between self-limiting strategies, where the modification has limited persistence, and self-sustaini...
متن کاملInterplay of population genetics and dynamics in the genetic control of mosquitoes
Some proposed genetics-based vector control methods aim to suppress or eliminate a mosquito population in a similar manner to the sterile insect technique. One approach under development in Anopheles mosquitoes uses homing endonuclease genes (HEGs)-selfish genetic elements (inherited at greater than Mendelian rate) that can spread rapidly through a population even if they reduce fitness. HEGs h...
متن کاملGenetic Control of Specific Immune Suppression
In earlier studies from our laboratory, mice that are nonresponders (H2P, H29, H-28) to the terpolymer of L-glutamic acids°-L-alanine3°-L-tyrosine'° (GAT)' were shown to develop suppressor T cells capable of inhibiting GAT-specific responses to GAT complexed with methylated bovine serum albumin (GATMBSA) (1). This finding raised several important points: (a) Could suppressor T cells be demonstr...
