Researchers use gene editing to render male mosquitoes infertile and slow disease spread
Aug 24, 2021 | 04:12 amMosquitos spread viruses that cause potentially deadly diseases such as Zika, dengue fever and yellow fever. New U.S. Army-funded research uses gene editing to render certain male mosquitoes infertile and slow the spread of these diseases.

Mapping dengue fever hot spots can predict future outbreaks of Zika and chikungunya
Jul 8, 2021 | 03:25 amData from nine cities in Mexico confirms that identifying dengue fever “hot spots” can provide a predictive map for future outbreaks of Zika and chikungunya. All three of these viral diseases are spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Differences in monocyte subsets between severe COVID-19 and long COVID
Jun 29, 2021 | 05:31 amResearchers in the United States and Costa Rica have identified differences in the proportions of monocyte subsets that occur in severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) following infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), often referred to as “Long COVID”.

Scientists develop new gene drive with a built-in genetic barrier
Jun 3, 2021 | 06:36 amCRISPR-based technologies offer enormous potential to benefit human health and safety, from disease eradication to fortified food supplies. As one example, CRISPR-based gene drives, which are engineered to spread specific traits through targeted populations, are being developed to stop the transmission of devastating diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.

Animal and insect invasions could shed light on COVID-19 transmission
May 19, 2021 | 08:26 amInvasions by alien insect and animal species have much in common with outbreaks of infectious diseases and could tell us a great deal about how pandemics spread, according to a research paper published today.
