'Toxic Male' Mosquitoes Engineered to Infect Female Mates For Biocontrol, Working Like Pesticides
Australian researchers engineered a new way to hinder the reproduction of disease-carrying mosquitoes using the TMT.
How ‘toxic’ semen could kill female mosquitoes and help curb spread of disease
Scientists from Australia have developed a groundbreaking technique involving genetically engineered mosquitoes with ’toxic’ semen. This method could be a new weapon to combat deadly mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue,
Mosquitoes with 'toxic' semen could stem disease spread: research
Genetically engineered mosquitoes with toxic semen could be a new weapon against tropical disease, Australian scientists said after trialling the novel pest control method.
Australian scientists engineer ‘toxic male’ mosquitoes to combat deadly diseases
By targeting the female mosquitoes themselves rather than their offspring, TMT is the first biocontrol technology that could work as quickly as pesticides without also harming
Genetically modified mosquitoes could combat deadly diseases, scientists say
Genetically modified mosquitoes could be the solution to stopping deadly diseases spread by mozzie bites, scientists say.
Scientists in Australia breed mosquitoes with ‘toxic’ semen to curb diseases
The ‘toxic male technique’ aims to breed male mosquitoes that kill disease-spreading females through the act of mating.
Mosquitos with 'toxic' semen may be used to curb deadly diseases: Study
A new effort is aiming to genetically modify some male mosquitos to produce 'toxic' semen to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne disease.
