A Review: <i>Wolbachia</i>-Based Population Replacement for Mosquito Control Shares Common Points with Genetically Modified Control Approaches

The growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the urgent need for efficient mosquito vector control. Compared to genetically modified control strategies, the intracellu...
