WHO/TDR,
WHO/TDR Training Manual,
2015.
This Training manual: Biosafety for human health and the environment in the context of the potential use of genetically modified mosquitoes (GMMs) is based on biosafety training courses on GMMs undertaken in Africa, Asia and Latin America from 2008–2011. The courses were conceived by Yeya Touré, formerly Unit Leader (Vectors, Environment and Society), WHO/TDR, Geneva, Switzerland. Brij Kishore Tyagi (Asia course coordinator and Principal Investigator of the “Biosafety Manual-GMM Project”) prepared the first draft and compiled the Manual with invaluable assistance from the late Madama Bouaré (Africa course coordinator), Maria Corena-McLeod and Ivan Velez (Latin America course coordinators), and all those involved in preparing the courses.
