Integrating Transgenic Vector Manipulation with Clinical Interventions to Manage Vector-Borne Diseases.

Many vector-borne diseases lack effective vaccines and medications, and the limitations of traditional vector control have inspired novel approaches based on using genetic engineering to manipulate vector populations and thereby reduce transmission. Yet both the short- and long-term epidemiological...
