flag Genetically modified mosquitoes in Tanzania halted malaria transmission using a safe gene drive, paving the way for field trials.

flag Genetically engineered mosquitoes in Tanzania successfully blocked malaria transmission using a gene drive system that spreads antimalarial traits without continuous releases. flag Modified Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes produced proteins from honeybees and frogs, inhibiting diverse Plasmodium falciparum strains from infected children. flag The non-autonomous gene drive, separated from the protective genes, allows safe testing and community engagement. flag Researchers plan field trials on a Lake Victoria island, marking a key step toward sustainable malaria control in Africa.
