One of the biggest challenges currently facing public health in Brazil and around the world is vector-borne diseases, with current control measures being inefficient. Mosquitoes are among the vectors of several diseases, as they are hematophagous, females need blood during the ovulation period for reproduction and once contaminated, the mosquito can contain bacteria, protozoa and viruses that are located in their salivary glands, thus infecting the individual directly into the bloodstream.
Aedes aegypti is responsible for the diseases: dengue, zika, chikungunya and yellow fever. Control methods for mosquito vectors have so far been ineffective, and as a result, several technologies have been developed as alternatives for controlling and combating the Aedes aegypti mosquito . With europe mobile number list recent approvals for the release of genetically modified insects, there is a need for more detailed studies to assess their ecological potential and evolutionary effects. These effects can occur in two phases: a transient phase when the focal population changes in density, and a steady-state phase when it reaches a new, constant density. With innovations in the field of vector control through genetically modified insects giving us a new perspective in relation to genetic manipulation.
This study aims to evaluate the potential effects of a rapid change in the density of the Aedes aegypti mosquito related to biological control through genetically modified mosquitoes. So we ask ourselves, can Biotechnology be a solution to public health problems in the case of the Aedes aegypti mosquito or a problem? Since the transformation or modifications of these living beings in laboratories are new techniques, it is currently impossible to know what the long-term consequences will be. Keywords: Genetic selection, transgenic animals, Aedes aegypti, mosquitoes, mosquito control.
