Genetic 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...

Historically, these are the diseases that caused the great plagues such as the 'Black Death' in Europe in the 14th Century and the epidemics of yellow fever that plagued the development of the New World. Others, such as Nagana, contributed to the lack of development in Africa for many years. At the turn ...
