Gene drives for malaria control and elimination

This factsheet was published by Health Tech Africa which is a collaborative project by the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) and the African Union Development Agency (AUDA- NEPAD).

This video describes gene drives technology; the two approaches, i.e., population suppression and population replacement, and how they work in malaria control, and how their effectiveness can be assessed

Gene drive mosquitoes for malaria control is a short documentary film that is beautifully shot in Uganda and explores Ugandan stakeholders’ hopes for gene drive mosquitoes – a radical new tool that offers a way to eliminate or change the mosquitoes that cause malaria.

This video essay explores the potential of using genetic engineering, specifically gene drive technology, to combat malaria by modifying mosquito populations. This was created by “Kurzgesagt“.
