GM mosquitoes have been developed that are resistant to pathogen infection and transmission, but the public health and environmental consequences of releasing such insects are unclear, mainly because of a lack of knowledge of the ecology and population biology of mosquitoes. This book is the result of a workshop, held in June 2002, that addressed these issues.
From the Contents:Preface.- Genetic control of mosquito-borne diseases.- Mosquito ecology.- Population genetics.- Vectors, parasites and pathogen transmission.- Consequences of GMM Release.- List of participants.
