Abstract:
The CRISPR genome editing technology shows great application prospects in gene manipulation and infectious disease research, and is of great value for effective control and cure of infectious diseases. It has been utilized to generate specific disease models in cells, organoids and animals, which provide great convenience for research into the molecular mechanisms associated with infectious diseases. CRISPR screening technology enables high-throughput identification of risk factors. New molecular diagnostic tools based on CRISPR offer a more sensitive and faster method for detecting pathogens. The use of CRISPR tools to introduce resistance genes or to specifically destroy risk genes and virus genomes is intended to help prevent or treat infectious diseases. This review discusses the application of CRISPR genome editing technologies in the construction of disease models, screening of risk factors, pathogen diagnosis, and prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, thereby providing a reference for follow-up research in pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
