Genetic Engineering Aims to Take a Bite Out of Insect Pests
文献摘要：
In March 2022,the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)cleared the Abingdon,UK-based biotech company Oxitec to release up to 2.4 billion genetically modified(GM)mosquitoes through 2024 in California and Florida[1].The Oxitec mosqui-toes-in this case,Aedes aegypti males-are engineered to pro-duce only male offspring and not the female mosquitoes that feed on blood and vector disease(Fig.1).Releasing large num-bers of these GM males aims to reduce the overall mosquito population and thereby the spread of the diseases they can transmit.For Aedes aegypti,this includes the viral illnesses yel-low fever,dengue,and Zika;other mosquitoes-in the genus Anopheles-transmit the age-old parasitic protozoan scourge of malaria that remains a front-line public health problem in the developing world,against which GM approaches are also being explored.
