  • Split Trans-Complementing Gene-Drive System for Suppressing Aedes Aegypti Mosquitos
    Publication number: 20210000091
    Abstract: Provided are systems, constructs, genetically modified organisms, and methods for greatly reducing or eliminating local populations of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, and associated Dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, and Chikungunya virus. Provided are genetically modified Aedes aegypti having a Cas9-mediated split gene-drive system for masculinizing the mosquito and ensuring that any female carries a sterile mutation. In addition, gRNAs direct Cas9 cleavage of insecticide-resistance loci, rendering female mosquitoes escaping the male converting gene drive sensitive to insecticides.
