  • Transgenic insect

    Abstract: A method for the genetic modification of an insect embryo, comprises first treating an insect egg under conditions which prevent or delay the hardening of the insect egg chorion, and then injecting a transposable element into the egg to permit integration of the element into the genome of the embryo. The method permits modifications to be made to mosquitoes, which may prevent transmission of a host parasite.
