New CRISPR Tools Help Contain Mosquito Disease Transmission
Since the onset of the CRISPR genetic editing revolution, scientists have been working to leverage the technology in the development of gene drives that target pathogen-spreading mosquitoes such as
Anopheles and
Much less genetic engineering has been devoted to
Culex genus mosquitoes, which spread devastating afflictions stemming from West Nile virus the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States as well as other viruses such as the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and the pathogen causing avian malaria, a threat to Hawaiian birds.
University of California San Diego scientists have now developed several genetic editing tools that help pave the way to an eventual gene drive designed to stop

UC San Diego scientists have developed a genetics toolkit that helps pave the way to a gene drive designed to stop Culex mosquitoes from spreading disease. Much less studied than other genera, Culex mosquitoes spread devastating afflictions stemming from West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis virus and the pathogen causing avian malaria.
