Aedes aegypti is one of the most concerning urban emerging species to the public health Brazilian sector, once it is vector of viruses responsible for chikungunya, zika and dengue diseases. Current, the applied efforts against those diseases are mainly focuses in symptomatic treatments or prophylactic methods, since there is no vaccines or drugs efficient enough to be widely distributed. …
The elucidation of genetic factors related to A. aegypti vector competence has been facilitated by the dissection of the mosquito's transcriptional responses to DENV, as well as by QTL studies in populations with midgut infection and scape barriers (MIM and MEB). Similar studies in Brazilian A. aegypti populations are limited to the fact that mosquito populations with different levels of …
CRISPR-Cas9 is the most accurate genetic engineering tool that is currently in use to knockout genes. The VigLab, led by Professor George Christophides, has been playing a leadership in developing CRISPR-Cas9-based constructs which express Cas9 and sgRNAs to drive highly specific knockouts and/or knockins of target genes. The VigiLab is currently funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Found…
