Gene knockout using new CRISPR tool makes mosquitoes highly resistant to malaria parasite: Study highlights the potential of mosquito gene-modification to combat malaria

Deleting a single gene from mosquitoes can make them highly resistant to the malaria parasite and thus much less likely to transmit the parasite to humans, according to a new paper from scientists at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Malaria Research Institute.See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses, Immunology & Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
