Albopictus7
Aedes albopictus (Stegomyia albopicta), from the mosquito (Culicidae) family, also known as the (Asian) tiger mosquito or forest mosquito, is a mosquito native to the tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia. (wikipedia.org)
Aedes albopictus is capable of hosting the Zika virus and is considered a potential vector for Zika transmission among humans. (wikipedia.org)
Later, the species was assigned to the genus Aedes (gr. άηδής, "unpleasant") and referred to as Aedes albopictus. (wikipedia.org)
In 2004, scientists explored higher-level relationships and proposed a new classification within the genus Aedes and Stegomyia was elevated to the genus level, making Aedes albopictus now Stegomyia albopicta. (wikipedia.org)
This is, however, a controversial matter, and the use of Stegomyia albopicta versus Aedes albopictus is continually debated. (wikipedia.org)

Genetic biocontrol8
On May 16-19, 2023, the African Genetic Biocontrol Consortium, the GeneConvene Global Collaborative at the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) USA in partnership with the National Biosafety Authority in Kenya will host a 4-day consultative workshop on Anticipated Decision-Making Process for Field Trials and Post-Release Monitoring of Genetic Biocontrol Agents and their Derived-Products in Nairobi, Kenya. (genbioconsortium.africa)
The workshop will target professionals from African countries who are environmental experts and practitioners to discuss the status of implementation of environmental principles in decision-making processes during research, field trials and deployment of genetic biocontrol technologies (which include gene drive/editing or synthetic biology). (genbioconsortium.africa)
The main objective of this Workshop is to provide a venue for informational opportunities and in-depth discussion and debate on the needs and requirements for testing of genetic biocontrol technologies by experts from countries most likely to experience both the risks and the benefits of these new technologies. (genbioconsortium.africa)
To boost their oversight skills, the participants will undergo practical hands-on training on how to review an application dossier and to develop decision-making reports and communication for environmental release of a genetic biocontrol product. (genbioconsortium.africa)
For sustainability, the participants will use the workshop to develop/review their unique national guidelines, environment risk assessment and other applicable tools, Application Forms, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), that support national oversight on environmental release and commercialization of a genetic biocontrol technologies in their countries. (genbioconsortium.africa)
