Mosquitoes
minus malaria
If wild populations of the mosquito that transmits malaria were
replaced with insects rendered harmless by genetic engineering, the
disease could finally be defeated. But that remains a big 'if', as
Tom Clarke reports.
What difference does a genome make?
Despite a wealth of new scientific opportunities, will the malaria
genome heighten tensions over how best to spend the scant resources
for malaria research and control, asks Declan Butler.
