Control of Aedes mosquito populations using recombinant microalgae expressing short hairpin RNAs and their effect on plankton.

Control of Aedes mosquito populations using recombinant microalgae expressing short hairpin RNAs and their effect on plankton.

New biocontrol strategies are urgently needed to combat vector-borne infectious diseases. This study presents a low-cost method to produce a potential mosquito insecticide that utilizes the microalgae released into suburban water sources to control mosquito populations. Chlorella microalgae are ubiq...
