Abstract:
With the specific, environmental-friendly, fast and efficient characteristics, the genetic control of mosquitoes has been preliminary shown a good effect. However, the prejudices and misunderstandings to the genetic control limit its popularization and application. Therefore, in order to re-recognize and take full advantage of this method, the recent progresses towards applying the genetic control of mosquitoes are reviewed.
