A selectable, plasmid-based system to generate CRISPR/Cas9 gene edited and knock-in mosquito cell lines
Aedes ( Ae. ) aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes transmit arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) around the globe, causing ~700,000 deaths each year. Genetic mutants are valuable tools to interrogate both fundamental vector biology and mosquito host factors important for viral infection. However, very few genetic mutants have been described in mosquitoes in comparison to model organisms. The…
