    • Abstract:
      The article provides information on genetically modified (GM) insects for controlling vector-borne diseases. Topics discussed include the use of GM vectors for vector control, proposed genetic modifications that are delivered through vertical transmission, how GM mosquitoes are made, and the release of insects carrying a dominant lethal genetic system (RIDL), a sterile-male system used in the field trials of GM mosquitoes.
