Genetic Modification of Mosquitos: A Potential Breakthrough in the Fight Against Malaria

Scientists Work to Engineer Malaria-Resistant Mosquitos

Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases in the world, with nearly 600,000 deaths recorded in 2023, the vast majority occurring in Africa. To combat this ongoing crisis, scientists at Imperial College London are developing a revolutionary genetic modification that could render malaria-transmitting mosquitos incapable of spreading the disease.
