Exploring the dynamics of gene drive mosquitoes within wild populations using an agent-based simulation

Gene drive technology is emerging as a potentially powerful tool in combating vector-borne diseases – notably malaria. This study introduces an agent-based model (ABM) focused on the deployment of genetically engineered mosquitoes with gene drive (GEM) in Príncipe Island, Republic of São Tomé and Pr...
