Genetic manipulation of endosymbionts to control vector and vector borne diseases
Vector borne diseases (VBD) are on the rise because of failure of the existing methods of control of vector and vector borne diseases and the climate change. A steep rise of VBDs are due to several factors like selection of insecticide resistant vector population, drug resistant parasite population and lack of effective vaccines against the VBDs. Environmental pollution, public health hazard an...
متن کاملControl and Management of Vector-Borne Diseases in Disaster Conditions
Disasters are a set of unexpected situations that occur as a result of natural misadventure or human manipulations. Depending on the type, time, and location of the events, the insect population causing vector-borne diseases is affected, which may eventually lead to widespread epidemics. Parasitic diseases such as malaria, leishmaniosis, arboviral diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile enceph...
متن کاملGenetic manipulation of vectors: A potential novel approach for control of vector-borne diseases.
K et al. (1) recently reported the genetic engineering of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to express abundantly an antimicrobial immune effector molecule in the hemolymph of a vector. In the realm of vector-borne diseases, this is a very significant event with provocative implications. Vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, leishmania, trypanosomiasis, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile encephalitis, et...

متن کاملParatransgenic Control of Vector Borne Diseases
Conventional methodologies to control vector borne diseases with chemical pesticides are often associated with environmental toxicity, adverse effects on human health and the emergence of insect resistance. In the paratransgenic strategy, symbiotic or commensal microbes of host insects are transformed to express gene products that interfere with pathogen transmission. These genetically altered ...
