Recently, the WHO released a new set of guidance framework for the detection of genetically modified mosquitoes to guide the research and development of genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes
Guidance Framework for the Detection of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes, Second Edition, https:// Framework for the Detection of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes, Second Edition, https:// modified mosquitoes can be used to control mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria, Zika, dengue fever and yellow fever.

But we want to make sure that this technology is adequately and responsibly evaluated

The guidance framework establishes a set of common expectations specific to genetically modified mosquitoes and addresses specific issues, including criteria for deciding how and when to test
The guidelines also outline methods for assessing the impact of genetically modified mosquitoes on human health, animal health, and the environment; a process to improve understanding of the most effective strategies for risk assessment and stakeholder participation; and to clarify how to move from one project testing stage to the next.

Genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes refer to the implantation of genes or bacteria into mosquitoes, thereby disrupting the normal growth and development of the offspring of mosquitoes
Previously, OX513A has been field tested in the Cayman Islands, Panama and Brazil.
Researchers released OX513A in Itaberaba, a suburb of the Brazilian city of Juazeiro
However, there are also opinions that genetic modification may make mosquito populations "stronger" and may be more resistant to pesticides or capable of spreading diseases
There is no doubt that the guidance framework discusses new factors that should be considered in risk assessment and reviews relevant precedents for the regulation of gene-driven mosquitoes
Professor Aggrey Ambali, Senior Advisor of the African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD), said: “We welcome this new WHO guideline, which will help countries suffering from mosquito-borne diseases evaluate a promising New interventions"
