Assessing the feasibility of controlling Aedes aegypti with transgenic methods: a model-based evaluation.
Suppression of dengue and malaria through releases of genetically engineered mosquitoes might soon become feasible. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying a conditionally lethal transgene have recently been used to suppress local vector populations in small-scale field releases. Prior to releases of tran...
