Risk Analysis
The WHO Guidance Framework for Testing Genetically Modified Mosquitoes calls for monitoring of efficacy and safety at each phase of testing as well as a period of post-implementation monitoring for ongoing effectiveness and safety under operational conditions after a decision is made to deploy gene drive-modified mosquitoes as public health tools (also see How will mosquitoes with gene drive be tested?). The Guidance Framework provides specific recommendations on the types of data that can be collected at each phase.
