چکیده

Within the main text we outline the key details of the mathematical models used throughout this work. Here we present some extra details necessary to reproduce the results of this study. We begin with the vi(t − τ) and wi(t − τ) expressions that are omitted from the main text for brevity. These expressions represent the outcomes from each possible genotype mating pair and are grouped according to the genotypes of their resulting progeny. For example, the expression used to represent all genotype mating pairs resulting in wild-type progeny is of the form

Population dynamics of engineered underdominance and killer-rescue gene drives in the control of disease vectors.

A number of different genetics-based vector control methods have been proposed. Two approaches currently under development in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the two-locus engineered underdominance and killer-rescue gene drive systems. Each of these is theoretically capable of increasing in frequency within a population, thus spreading associated desirable genetic traits. Thus they have gained att...

Conditions for success of engineered underdominance gene drive systems

Engineered underdominance is one of a number of different gene drive strategies that have been proposed for the genetic control of insect vectors of disease. Here we model a two-locus engineered underdominance based gene drive system that is based on the concept of mutually suppressing lethals. In such a system two genetic constructs are introduced, each possessing a lethal element and a suppre...

Confinement of gene drive systems to local populations: a comparative analysis.

Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever pose a major health problem through much of the world. One approach to disease prevention involves the use of selfish genetic elements to drive disease-refractory genes into wild mosquito populations. Recently engineered synthetic drive systems have provided encouragement for this strategy; but at the same time have been greeted with caut...

Invasion and migration of self-limiting gene drives: a comparative analysis

Recent advances in research on gene drives have produced genetic constructs that could theoretically spread a desired gene (payload) into all of the populations of a targeted species, with a single release in one place. This attribute has advantages, but also comes with risks and ethical concerns. There has been a call for research on gene drive systems that are spatially and/or temporally self...

Prevention and Control Policies of Dengue Vectors (Aedes aegypti and albopictus) in Iran

Background and Objective: Dengue fever has become a major public health problem in many world regions due to increased trade, travel, and problems controlling Aedes vectors. This policy brief aims to review, analyze, and present evidence-based policies for dengue prevention and control. Methods: The present research is a compilation of a policy brief in Iran, carried out in 3 stages according ...
