Various species of mosquitoes from the genus Anopheles vector the Plasmodium spp. parasites responsible for human malaria. While traditional, drug and insecticide based, efforts to control malaria have met with some success in limited geographic areas, there are still millions of cases each year and novel control strategies are needed to effect permanent reductions on a worldwide scale. One potential method to control malaria is to harness the mosquito immune system to create mosquitoes refractory to Plasmodium infection via genetic engineering. Efforts to create such mosquitoes have succeeded in multiple laboratories, but no such mosquitoes have been released as part of a large-scale malaria control program, partly due to a lack of knowled...
