Summary
PROJECT SUMMARY Dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti. One strategy to reduce Ae. aegypti populations is to release non-biting male mosquitoes that pass female killing genes to their progeny. Over time and with many releases, this can lead to a significant suppression of the mosquito population, decreasing transmission of the pathogens they vector. Some female-killing technologies are available for this vector, but these technologies have some challenges that support the development of additional control technologies. To address this need, we aim to build new
