Scientists Achieve Breakthroughs in Mosquito Control Using CRISPR Technology
Oct 7, 2024, 05:31 AM
Scientists have made significant advancements in mosquito control using CRISPR technology. By disabling a gene in female mosquitoes, researchers have modified their proboscis to resemble that of males, rendering them unable to pierce human skin. Captive tests have shown that a CRISPR 'gene drive' can eliminate a mosquito species within 8-12 generations by causing infertility in females.
