there is no evidence or proof that genetically modified mosquitoes would contribute to tackling the current challenges in the fight against malaria.The Uganda Virus Research Institute is pressing ...

Although the protocol applies to GM mosquitoes intended for disease control, its terms were negotiated primarily with concerns over the safety and trade of GM crops in mind. A sub-working group ...

Until now, most "modified mosquito" research has focused on creating males that mate with wild females and cause them to only create male young or stop them from producing offspring entirely.

Scientists in Brazil are releasing genetically modified mosquitoes into the environment to combat soaring cases of dengue fever in the country. More than 1 million cases of the viral, mosquito ...

Genetically modified mosquitoes with poisonous semen could soon be deployed in a bid to take out the disease carrying female mosquitoes. Researchers from the government funded CSIRO have worked ...

GENETICALLY engineered "toxic male" mosquitoes could help kill off disease-spreading females. Scientists say the gene-hacked male insects can cull female numbers by mating with venomous semen.

Researchers from the government funded CSIRO have worked with UK company Oxitec Ltd to develop a genetically modified species of mosquito that will hopefully see blood-feasting and disease ...
