Gene drive mosquitoes for malaria control: a new horizon for public health?

Recent advances in gene drive mosquito technologies have created new possibilities for accelerating the elimination of malaria and other mosquito-transmitted diseases. But the implications of these new technologies for public health policy and practice have not been fully explored. This symposium, co-hosted by The Carter Center and the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, will bring together scientists, public health practitioners, ethicists, historians, and ministry of health officials from malaria-endemic countries to discuss issues surrounding the integration of these new technologies into malaria control programs.
