成功地将转基因蚊子(GMM)应用于疾病预防需要具有不同专业知识的科学家之间的密切合作。在适当的伦理、社会和文化指导方针的背景下，从理论到经验的各种观点将提供基本的见解，形成病媒传播疾病专家、公共卫生官员和政策制定者对转基因生物的知情评估和实施。生态学家和种群生物学家在这一过程中发挥着关键作用。
Successful application of genetically modified mosquitoes (GMMs) for disease prevention requires close collaboration among scientists with a diverse spectrum of expertise. Perspectives ranging from theoretical to empirical-within the context of appropriate ethical, social, and cultural guidelines-will provide the essential insights that shape informed evaluation and implementation of GMMs by vector-borne disease specialists, public health officials, and policy makers. Ecologists and population biologists have key roles to play in this process.
