High-resolution in situ analysis of Cas9 germline transcript distributions in gene-drive Anopheles mosquitoes

Gerard Terradas et al.

Summary: Research has shown that different types of gene drives have unique characteristics when it comes to mosquito vectors, with one being more effective through males and the other being effective through both genders. Additionally, the colocalization patterns of the two drives in female reproductive tissues differ, providing important insights for future gene drive designs.

Cas9-mediated maternal effect and derived resistance alleles in a gene-drive strain of the African malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae

Rebeca Carballar-Lejarazu et al.

Summary: CRISPR/Cas9 technologies are important for controlling the transmission of pathogens by modifying mosquito populations. However, a challenge in current drive systems is the generation of drive-resistant alleles. This study finds that potential drive-resistant mutant alleles are mostly generated during embryonic development, likely due to the deposition of Cas9 endonuclease and guide RNAs by gene-drive mothers.

Engineering a self-eliminating transgene in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti

Keun Chae et al.

Summary: This study lays the foundation for a transgene removal system based on single-strand annealing (SSA), which successfully eliminates transgenic cargo genes from Aedes aegypti mosquito strains, restoring the wild-type genes and providing a reference for genetics-based mosquito control strategies.

Making gene drive biodegradable

Josef Zapletal et al.

Summary: Self-elimination mechanisms could be incorporated into homing-based gene drive transgenes to facilitate rigorous field-based testing and limit the presence of gene drive transgenes in nature. This approach allows for the removal of gene drive transgenes and the generation of transgene-free alleles resistant to gene drive action, providing a biodegradable solution for gene drive technology.

Releasing incompatible males drives strong suppression across populations of wild and Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti in Australia

Nigel W. Beebe et al.

Summary: Releasing sterile or incompatible male insects is a proven method of population management with the potential to revolutionize mosquito control in agricultural systems. A study in northern Australia using the incompatible insect technique (IIT) with the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti showed significant population declines, indicating the potential of this method in field settings.
