Scientists have genetically modified mosquitoes with the ability to slow the growth of malaria-causing parasites in their gut, an advance that can help prevent transmission of the disease to humans. "Delaying the parasite's growth in the mosquito has opened many more opportunities to block malaria transmission from mosquitoes to humans," said study co-first author, Astrid Hoermann. "Gene drive is one …
