Abstract: The inventive technology relates to novel paratransgenic strategies for the control of pathogens. The inventive technology may specifically include a novel paratransgenic system configured to deliver one or more inhibitory RNA molecules to pathogen/disease-transmitting organisms. In a preferred embodiment, the invention may include one or more genetically engineered enteric bacteria configured to deliver one or more interfering RNA molecules to pathogen/disease-transmitting mosquitos.
