Public health concerns over gene-drive mosquitoes: will future use of gene-drive snails for schistosomiasis control gain increased level of community acceptance?D. O. Famakinde, Pathogens and Global Health, 2020.![]() With the advent of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat)-based gene drive, present genetic research in schistosomiasis vector control envisages the breeding and release of transgenic schistosome-resistant (TSR) snail vectors to curb the spread of the ...

Evolutionary simulations of Z-linked suppression gene drivesL. Holman, Proceedings of the Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 286:1-9. 2019.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Synthetic gene drives may soon be used to suppress or eliminate populations of disease vectors, pathogens, invasive species, and agricultural pests. Recent proposals have focused on using Z-linked gene drives to control species with ZW sex determination, which include ...
