MGD riv E: A modular simulation framework for the spread of gene drives through spatially explicit mosquito populations

Malaria, dengue, Zika and other mosquito‐borne diseases continue to pose a major global health burden through much of the world, despite the widespread distribution of insecticide‐based tools and antimalarial drugs. The advent of CRISPR/Cas9‐based gene editing and its demonstrated ability to streamline the development of gene drive systems has reignited interest in the application of this technology to the control of mosquitoes and the diseases...
