(4) Narrated Slideshow Videos: Introduction to Gene Drive Technologies for Lay Audiences
Year:
Schairer and colleagues created 4 Narrated Slideshow Videos that provide an introduction to gene drive technologies for lay audiences. Each narrated video is between 5-6 minutes. Slide Show 1, "Mosquitoes in California" covers information on mosquitoes in CA and basic facts about mosquitos. Slide Show 2, "Genetic Engineering for Mosquito Control", offers a comparison of genetically engineered (GE) sterile male mosquitoes with GE gene drive mosquitoes. Slide Show 3, "Modifying Mosquitoes with Gene Drives", includes a comparison of gene drive mosquitoes designed to reduce/suppress populations versus gene drive mosquitoes designed to alter populations. Slide Show 4, "Controlling Gene Drives", outlines different control strategies for gene drive mosquitoes.
