Impact of mosquito gene drive on malaria elimination in a computational model with explicit spatial and temporal dynamics

The renewed effort to eliminate malaria and permanently remove its tremendous burden highlights questions of what combination of tools would be sufficient in various settings and what new tools need to be developed. Gene drive mosquitoes constitute a promising set of tools, with multiple different p...
