将基因修改引入蚊子种群有可能成为疟疾控制的关键。近年来,研究人员已对多个种类的疟蚊进行了基因组测序,包括那些几乎造成了非洲所有地方疟疾传播的疟蚊。有了这些信息,研究人员开始对疟蚊全面调查,确认疟蚊能够以人类为宿主传播开来的基因基础、疟蚊的生殖生物学原理以及它们对疟原虫的易感性。如果我们知道决定疟蚊关键性特征的基因或基因变异,如与原虫转阴及产卵等特性相关的基因,从理论上来说就可以将某些基因修改引
Introducing genetic modifications into mosquito populations could be the key to malaria control. In recent years, researchers have sequenced genomes of several species of anopheles mosquitoes, including anopheles mosquitoes that have caused almost the spread of malaria in all parts of Africa. With this information, researchers began a thorough investigation of the malaria mosquito to confirm the genetic basis for the transmission of the malaria mosquito to humans as a host, the reproductive biology of the malaria mosquito and their susceptibility to malaria parasites. If we know the genes or genetic variations that determine the key traits of anopheline mosquitoes, such as genes associated with the negative and spawning properties of protozoa, it is theoretically possible to modify certain genes
