Malaria Control with Transgenic Mosquitoes
Malaria has been eliminated from a large part of the world. By the mid-twentieth century both North America and Europe were free of the disease, although both had suffered greatly during the prior century [1,2].

Because of that, novel means to fight against malaria are of utmost importance. Advances in the study of the mosquito vector and its interactions with the malaria parasite made scientists think that it is possible to genetically manipu...
متن کاملInsecticide-resistant mosquitoes and malaria control.
The emergence of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes strongly challenges the fight against mosquito-borne diseases, in particular malaria. In this paper, we formulate a system of nonlinear difference equations for malaria transmission cycle. Our model incorporates compartments for insecticide-resistant mosquitoes, where mutation is the only evolutionary force involved in the occurrence of resistan...
متن کاملStopping Malaria in Mosquitoes
The development of quantum communication networks will require a source of single photons that can be generated on demand. McKeever et al. (p. 1992) report on a scheme in which a single cesium atom is trapped in an optical cavity. Coupling between the excited atom and the optical mode of the cavity allows single photons to be generated deterministically while strongly suppressing two-photon eve...
متن کاملMosquitoes and Malaria
This is an admirable little book which should be in the hands of every medical man in India. It gives in small space a very complete account of our knowledge of the subject of the relations of mosquitoes to malaria, at the present day, and also a sketch of the natural history of some mosquitoes. It begins by giving a short account of the malaria parasite, from its discovery by Laveran. Chapter ...
