Abstract:
Transgenic mosquitoes may provide a new way of dealing with the old problem of diseases transmitted by insects. Although many technical, and perhaps ethical, problems associated with the wild-release of transgenic insects have yet to be overcome, Julian Crampton and colleagues explore the potential of this technology in the continuing battle to control insect-borne disease.
