Germline transformation of Aedes fluviatilis (Diptera:Culicidae) with the piggyBac transposable element

Germline transformation of Aedes fluviatilis (Diptera:Culicidae) with the piggyBac transposable element

The technique to generate transgenic mosquitoes requires adaptation for each target species because of aspects related to species biology, sensitivity to manipulation and rearing conditions. Here we tested different parameters on the microinjection procedure in order to obtain a transgenic Neotropic...
