Engineering Insect Symbionts without Creating New Ecological Vulnerabilities: Principles for Paratransgenesis, Microbial Replacement, and Environmental Safeguards
Entomology and Applied Science Letters, vol. 12, pp. 81–93
Abstract
Engineering insect-associated microorganisms offers a route to suppress pathogens, alter vector competence, or reduce insect survival without relying exclusively on conventional chemical control. However, demonstrating an engineered microbial function does not establish that the organism will remain stable, restricted, containable, or ecologically reversible after movement beyond controlled laboratory systems. This article develops an original safety-by-design synthesis for paratransgenesis, mic
