Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY Billions of people are at risk of contracting vector-borne diseases and there are no drugs or vaccines to treat or prevent the majority of these infections. Therefore, vector control is the primary tool used for vector-borne disease prevention. This proposal aims to improve the technologies available to conduct functional analysis of genes in â€Â
