"Poison male" .. a new method that can eliminate "deadly malaria"

A recent study published in the Nature Communications magazine revealed a new biological technique to control pests known as ‘Gifman’. A revolution can cause harmful insect control, such as mosquitoes that transmit murderous malaria, by significantly reducing female life and producing faster and more effective results than current methods. The technique depends on a genetic modification of the men of insects to produce toxic protein specifically for women, and when modified men with women, these proteins are transmitted by semen, leading to a significant reduction of women. The genetic amendment aims to reduce the ability of women to multiply and transfer diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever. The technology mechanism begins with male modification genetically to produce toxic proteins that only work when you enter the female body of the same type. The direct impact of the “toxic male” technology appears in reducing the number of female transmission quickly, as soon as the age of women is shortened, the number of insects capable of transferring diseases quickly decreases as their chances of reproduction and transmission decrease, making the results faster and effective compared to traditional technologies. These proteins are produced in the male reproductive system, which guarantees that its effect is limited to the females that interfere with it, when this process occurs, toxic protein is transferred to women and affects their important organs, which reduce their life period. Insect control. Harmful insects are a growing threat to public health and agriculture worldwide, as it causes hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of injuries annually, as well as billions of dollars to healthcare and agriculture. In the types of mosquitoes, such as ‘Egyptian Al -Zaaeja’, the female is the only one that bites bite and diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika, Chonjunia and yellow fever. Traditional pesticides have a decrease in its effectiveness due to insect resistance and cause damage to non -targeted species and environmental systems. Chemical pesticides are the most common traditional method of combating insects, and these substances work to kill or prevent insects. While the technique of “sterile insects” is used to combat harmful insects by launching large numbers of sterile males in the area, as these men teamed up with women, but this mating does not lead to any offspring, leading to a gradual decrease in the number of insects; This technique is especially used against fruit flies and some mosquitoes. Biological control methods include the use of natural living organisms such as parasites, predators or pathogens (such as bacteria and viruses) to combat pests, and this approach is considered an environmentally sustainable because it limits the need for chemical pesticides. The ‘poison male’ technique according to the study; The “toxic male” technique exceeds other genetic methods, such as sterile insect technology and insects that carry deadly genes, as it reduces the number of female transfers immediately after mating with the average men. One of the important benefits of this technique is to reduce the need to use chemical pesticides by directly reducing the number of female transmission, reducing the need to use these pesticides, which is often harmful to the environment and other non -targeted species. This technology also provides a sustainable and effective method of pest control, which contributes to maintaining the environmental balance and reducing the damage caused by the use of pesticides. In laboratory experiments using fruit flies, women who have changed with “toxic male” technology have fallen by 37 and 64% compared to women who are with non -average men. The researchers said that environmental safety and safety form the main pillar of the ‘poison male’ technology, as it depends on the use of toxic proteins specifically aimed at harmful insects without affecting other organisms. The protein used in that technique, undergoing the test, has carefully undermined to ensure that they target only invertebrates, which do not make them toxic to mammals and are not harmful to useful insects, due to the low toxicity of these proteins when consuming oral. The current study provides conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of this innovative approach to suppressing the number of harmful species, but researchers emphasize the need to perform accurate safety tests to this technology when applying it to mosquitoes to ensure that there are no risks to people or other -tailing species, which increases confidence in the application of this technology.
