APMEN Xchange Webinar: Genetic Approach to Vector Control: How can Gene Drive Help Control Malaria and Other Diseases?

Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN) and the Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA) would like to send a warm invitation for you to join the APMEN Xchange webinar, “Genetic Approach to Vector Control: How can Gene Drive Help Control Malaria and Other Diseases?“, to commemorate World Mosquito Day 2023.

Gene drive, a genetic engineering technique, aims to spread specific traits through targeted mosquito populations. By modifying the mosquitoes, gene drive approaches offer the potential to reduce disease vector populations or the transmission of disease-causing parasites and viruses. Our invited experts will share technical advancements and experiences with gene drive technology, shedding light on its potential role in combating vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. Please join this APMENxChange webinar to explore the potential uses of gene drive technology for malaria control globally and for the Asia Pacific region.
