Grant Activity:
Mosquito-specific viruses: novel agents to control the transmission of arboviral pathogens
Purpose:
Insect-specific viruses are benign viruses that infect only insects and are transmitted from the insect to their offspring. We and others have shown that infection of mosquitoes with these benign viruses can inhibit infection of these mosquitoes by other viruses that cause human disease. In this grant, we plan to produce one or more strains of mosquitoes harboring these benign viruses for use in biological control programs against mosquito-borne diseases.
