Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by a single-cell parasite called Plasmodium, spread to people through the bites of infected female mosquitoes. In this presentation, Dr. Federica Bernardini, Imperial College London, discusses traditional methods of fighting malaria and the development of synthetic biology approaches for the genetic control of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. This talk was presented at the SelectScience® Virtual Microbiology and Infectious Disease Summit 2022.
