Transgenic Mosquitoes Expressing a Phospholipase A(2) Gene Have a Fitness Advantage When Fed Plasmodium falciparum-Infected Blood
BACKGROUND: Genetically modified mosquitoes have been proposed as an alternative strategy to reduce the heavy burden of malaria. In recent years, several proof-of-principle experiments have been performed that validate the idea that mosquitoes can be genetically modified to become refractory to mala...
