Genetically engineered mosquitos resist dengue fever virus
Dengue has represented a significant public health burden for a number of decades. Given the lack of dengue-specific drugs and limited availability of licensed vaccine, new methods for prevention and control are urgently needed. Researchers investigated whether genetic manipulation of the mosquitoes’ native JAK/STAT pathway-mediated anti-DENV defense system could be used to render mosquitoes more…See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses and Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
