Can genetically-modified mosquitoes help fight vector-borne diseases like Malaria?

This spring, a U.K.-based company released genetically engineered mosquitos in the Florida Keys – part of an experiment that researchers hope could eventually result in a new weapon against diseases like Dengue Fever.Mosquitos have long been associated with the spread of vector-borne diseases, but scientists hope by genetically altering their DNA, they could prevent them from passing on pathogens to humans. A similar experiment was carried out two years ago in Burkina Faso, where Malaria is endemic.

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, lays the ground for further research to determine if the technology can also be effective against COVID-19 in humans.Conventional vaccines use a weakened or inactive pathogen to train a person’s immune system to respond to the pathogen.However, DNA vaccines deliver part of the genetic information of the pathogen into a person. This then produces the antigens of the pathogen — the substances that trigger a person’s immune system to produce antibodies.These antibodies can then offer protection against an infection of the full pathogen in the future.Studies on DNA vaccines emerged in the early 1990s.
