Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

Gene drive won’t be a silver bullet. But as part of an integrated approach alongside existing tools and partnerships, it could help turn one of our oldest enemies into an unlikely ally.

The question is no longer hypothetical. In recent years, scientists have devised powerful genetic tools that may be able to eradicate mosquitoes and other pests once and for all.

Researchers said, geneticists should be able to use gene editing, vaccines and other tools to target not the mosquito itself, but the single-celled Plasmodium parasite that is responsible for malaria.

Gene editing holds the potential of suppressing mosquito species that carry deadly diseases — and raises ethical questions.
