Title in Portuguese
Obtenção e caracterização de linhagem transgênica de Aedes aegypti machos geneticamente estéreis.
Keywords in Portuguese
Aedes aegypti
Esterilidade condicional
Supressão populacional
Transgênico
Abstract in Portuguese
Com o aumento progressivo do número de casos de infecção por diferentes arbovírus, por exemplo, dengue, zica e chikungunya, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas para o combate a esses arbovírus. A manipulação genética possibilitou a obtenção de mosquitos geneticamente modificados que sejam capazes de suprimir a população selvagem ou impedir a transmissão de agentes etiológicos gerando doenças. O estudo teve como objetivo o estabelecimento de linhagens para supressão populacional de Aedes aegypti. Esta construção apresenta esterilidade condicionada à presença ou ausência de antibiótico no meio em que esses mosquitos se desenvolvem durante a fase larval. Dessa forma, sem a necessidade de se utilizar radiação para obter insetos estéreis, é possível melhorar a qualidade dos machos adultos liberados e aumentar a competitividade dos mesmos em competir por fêmeas selvagens e adicionalmente gerar o desejado quadro de supressão populacional.

Abstract in English
The increasing number of infection cases by arboviruses, for instance Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya, it is necessary to develop new techniques to fight against these arboviruses. Genetic manipulation allowed the production of genetically modified mosquitoes that are capable of suppressing the wild population or prevent pathogens transmission and avoid disease development. The project proposes to establish lines for population suppression of Aedes aegypti, one of the main vectors of those diseases. This construction presents the conditional sterility due to the presence or absence of antibiotics in the environment where these mosquitoes are developed during the larval stage. Thus, without the need to use radiation for sterile insects, it is possible to improve the quality of the released adult males and enhance the competitiveness thereof in competing with wild females and additionally generate population suppression.
