An international team including Polo GGB researchers have shown that “gene drive” technology is effective at suppressing malaria mosquitoes in complex ecological settings
The World Malaria Day, held on April 25, raises awareness of the global effort to control and ultimately eradicate one of the world’s oldest and deadliest diseases.
Gene drive is an example of a technology that generates a mixture of high expectations and fear.
Controlling mosquitoes is a vital part of any integrated strategy to fight malaria. Target Malaria team at the laboratory of Professor Andrea Crisanti at Imperial College London has been working on developing novel genetic technologies as a tool to fight the disease.
Results from InfraVec2 project shed a light on habitat characteristics of multiple mosquito vectors in Europe and Africa.
Infravec2, the EU-funded global source for no-cost vector research products and services, announces multiple new products available from an upgraded online shopping site. The upgraded Infravec2 online shop is now offering multiple new products for researchers at no cost. These products include additional colonies of mosquitoes,
Polo GGB Terni Open Days – June 9 and 10 Do not miss the opportunity to discover the Target Malaria project and to visit the new Polo GGB laboratory in Terni, which is a centrepiece of the “Target Malaria” initiative. Target Malaria is an international
Recent breakthroughs in the field of Genomics have opened an incredible number of possibilites about biotech applications in medicine and agriculture, getting us one step closer to a future we imagined still far. Gene Editing technologies are a revolution that is already among us, a revolution
A team of researchers led by Imperial College Scientists, including the italian Andrea Crisanti, have genetically modified some male speciemen of Anopheles Gambiae in order to make them carry a gene that interrupts egg production in female mosquitos. You can find this incredible breakthrough explained in ‘Nature Biotechnology‘.
Tiger Mosquito genome sequence is now complete. New discoveries on mortal diseases transmission are incoming. Pathogens and Global Health journal has published an article in which reveals the first genome sequence of one of the world’s most invasive mosquito species, Aedes albopictus (known as “Tiger Mosquito”)
