Modeling the dynamics of a non-limited and a self-limited gene drive system in structured Aedes aegypti populations.

Recently there have been significant advances in research on genetic strategies to control populations of disease-vectoring insects. Some of these strategies use the gene drive properties of selfish genetic elements to spread physically linked anti-pathogen genes into local vector populations. Becau...
