For example, we manipulate a pathway to prevent mosquitoes from transmitting viral diseases. We also develop diagnostics so that people can detect in the field if an insect is infected with a pathogen ...

A CRISPR-based system that erases itself from fly populations may offer a safer approach to tackling insecticide resistance ...

The powerful gene editing tool CRISPR is already being tested on animal and plant ... On the one hand, it could cure inherited diseases and rid the world of malaria-spreading mosquitoes. On the other ...

The team used CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out the gene that codes for TRPVa in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The resulting animals showed no reaction to sound. In fact, they found that sound elicited no ...

Cow blood engorges an exposed mosquito’s gut in Anthony James’s lab. Versions of the species carrying Zika and dengue fever can be manipulated with CRISPR so that they give birth to sterile ...

tool can reveal specific categories of mutations resulting from CRISPR editing. Developed in flies and mosquitoes, the ICP provides a "fingerprint" of how genetic material is being inherited ...

Researchers have found that infection with tropical viruses like dengue or Zika – which spread through mosquito bites – can change the scent of their host, making them more attractive to hungry ...

Potent in vivo gene editing in skeletal muscle of non-human primates by a novel, ultracompact CRISPR system delivered via a single AAV vector.
