Genetic control of malaria and dengue [electronic resource] / edited by Zach N. Adelman, Franlin Life Science Institute and Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, USA.
"Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue focuses on the knowledge, technology, regulation and ethics of using genetically modified mosquitoes to interrupt the transmission of important vector-borne diseases. It contains coverage of the current state of knowledge of vector-borne diseases and how they a...
