Hello Students,
An interesting research article for You !!!
According to the World Health Organization, dengue virus threatens
millions of people in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Severe dengue
is a leading cause of serious illness and death among children in many
Asian and Latin American countries.
According to a research published last week scientists have genetically engineered mosquitoes that halt the
transmission of the dengue virus. Biologists developed a human antibody
for dengue suppression in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the insects that
spread dengue. The development marks the first engineered approach in
mosquitoes that targets the four known types of dengue, improving upon
previous designs that addressed single strains.
Can similar approach be used for Arbovirus (chikungunya and Zika Virus, Yellow fever) which spreads by mosquitoes ?
