Recommendations for environmental risk assessment of gene drive applications for malaria vector control

Abstract Building on an exercise that identified potential harms from simulated investigational releases of a population suppression gene drive for malaria vector control, a series of online workshops identified nine recommendations to advance future environmental risk assessment of gene drive appli...
