Contemporary research on genetic control of disease-transmitting
insects knows two kinds of scientists: those that work in the
laboratory and those known as a ~field peoplea (TM). Over the last
decade, both groups seem to have developed differing research
priorities, addressed fundamentally different aspects within the
overall discipline of infectious-disease control, and worse, have
developed a scientific a ~languagea (TM) that is no longer
understood by the a ~othera (TM) party. This gap widens every day,
between the North and the South, between ecologists and molecular
biologists, geneticists and behaviourists, etc. The need to develop
a common research agenda that bridges this gap has been identified
as a top priority by all parties involved. Only then shall the goal
of developing appropriate genetic-control strategies for vectors of
disease become reality.
This book is the reflection of a workshop, held in Nairobi
(Kenya) in July 2004, that addressed the above issues. It brought
together a good representation of both the molecular and ecological
research disciplines and, for the first time, included a
significant number of researchers from disease-endemic countries.
The research agenda presented here will serve the research and
science-policy communities alike, and guide sponsoring
organizations with the selection of priority areas for research
funding.
