Engineering of Dengue Virus Refractoriness in Aedes aegypti and Development of an Underdominant Gene Drive System in Drosophila melanogaster
Kelly Jean Matzen
Vector-borne diseases have a profound impact on world health. The two most well-known and costly diseases are dengue fever and malaria, both spread by mosquito vectors. In the last decade, many new solutions to halting the spread of these diseases have been sought, including vector-mediated disease suppression. The work presented here seeks to generate alleles to effect this suppression, and engineer a drive system to replace the native population. Additional work on systems to keep...
