Scientists from UC San Diego used CRISPR to replace one amino acid in a mosquito protein (FREP1), rendering them resistant to both Pf and Pv malaria. A gene‑drive-like allelic system spreads this trait—blocking transmission while preserving mosquito fitness. A groundbreaking path to malaria control.

Isang Genetic Tweak Nagpapalakas sa Mosiquito Laban sa Malaria

Gumamit ang mga siyentipiko ng UC San Diego, Johns Hopkins at collaborators ng CRISPR para palitan ang isang amino acid sa FREP1 protein ng lamok. Naging hindi na makapaglipat ng Plasmodium falciparum at vivax ang lamok, at kumakalat ang trait gamit gene‑drive‑style system nang hindi nasisira ang kalusugan nila. Rebolusyonaryo sa laban kontra malaria!
