A Review: Wolbachia-Based Population Replacement for Mosquito Control Shares Common Points with Genetically Modified Control Approaches. [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 The growing expansion of mosquito vectors has made mosquito-borne arboviral diseases a global threat to public health, and the lack of licensed vaccines and treatments highlight the urgent need for efficient mosquito vector control.

Patterns of mtDNA introgression suggest population replacement in Palaearctic whiskered bat species. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2020 Secondary contacts can play a major role in the evolutionary histories of species. Various taxa diverge in allopatry and later on come into secondary contact during range expansions.

Aedes aegypti insecticide resistance underlies the success (and failure) of Wolbachia population replacement. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Mosquitoes that carry Wolbachia endosymbionts may help control the spread of arboviral diseases, such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya. Wolbachia frequencies systematically increase only when the frequency-dependent advantage due to cytoplasmic ...

Winning the Tug-of-War Between Effector Gene Design and Pathogen Evolution in Vector Population Replacement Strategies. [PDF]
Front Genet, 2019 While efforts to control malaria with available tools have stagnated, and arbovirus outbreaks persist around the globe, the advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-based gene editing has provided exciting new ...

Tethered homing gene drives: A new design for spatially restricted population replacement and suppression. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2019 Optimism regarding potential epidemiological and conservation applications of modern gene drives is tempered by concern about the potential unintended spread of engineered organisms beyond the target population.

Low fertility and population replacement in Scotland [PDF]
Population, Space and Place, 2006 It has been argued that Scotland faces population ageing and decline that will have potentially serious economic and social consequences, and that the origin of these processes lie in its low and declining fertility rates.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Special Populations
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Since its food and drug administration (FDA) approval in 2011, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the highly prevalent disease of aortic stenosis.

Wolf cranial morphology tracks population replacement in Fennoscandia [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceHumans have directly or indirectly contributed to the genetic and thus often phenotypic changes of many species. Anthropogenic pressures, such as persecution and hunting, have negatively affected wolf populations in northern Europe.

Population Replacement in Early Neolithic Britain [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2018 The roles of migration, admixture and acculturation in the European transition to farming have been debated for over 100 years. Genome-wide ancient DNA studies indicate predominantly Anatolian ancestry for continental Neolithic farmers, but also variable admixture with local Mesolithic hunter-gatherers1–9.
