科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 深入淺出–基因改造蚊子

埃及斑蚊，英文名為yellow fever mosquito，學名為Aedes aegypti，是白紋伊蚊的近親。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrp9ZRqEbo

（圖1）男性品種不會叮人，只有女性品種才會叮人，藉著吸血等途徑傳播登革熱(Dengue Fever)等疾病。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWhw3rU0xQ

殺蟲劑雖能殺滅蚊子，但蚊子亦逐漸展示出對殺蟲劑的抗藥性。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj7qrZUiz1

而基於殺蟲劑會污染環境及危害部份雀鳥昆蟲健康關係，建立另類對付播毒蚊子的方法可謂有著絕對的迫切性。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2qi10J3MM

（圖2）有見及此，Oxitec公司(現為美國公司收購)培養出埃及斑蚊OX513A品種。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L1UMJ83k8
牠們在幼蟲的時候需要四環黴素（Tetracycline)才能成功生長。在實驗室培植的時候，研究人員會在食物裡提供四環黴素，但當他們被放到野外的時候，便再也沒能取得足夠的四環黴素，沒能順利生長成為蚊子。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD44b2hq4h
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ya0s1ljMr
男性埃及斑蚊OX513A品種與女性正常品種交配的話，將有機會產生正常品種及OX513A品種的蚊卵。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozPfc8ghq9
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcugvKCEbhI
在野外缺乏四環黴素的情況下，正常品種有86–88%成功長大為蚊子，而OX513A品種則只有3-4%的成功率。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFdXChgyB
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDjx2pXAOB
以這個方式推算下去的話，蚊子下一代的比率將會大幅度減低。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Lx4lKA8D

（圖3）Oxitec公司在2010年英國開曼群島藉著此方式消除80%野外埃及斑蚊。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWSMx491U
而亦在2013年巴西巴伊亞州順利用上同樣方式消除~90%野外埃及斑蚊。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXXERIX9Gf
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDTWriZeiY
今年2020年8月，他們同樣依這種方式在美國佛羅里達發放男性男性埃及斑蚊OX513A品種。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEemzM1Soai
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALZSinFkbV
此舉泛起不少反對聲音，不乏違反動物權利及人權等等。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqeXCDhHCZ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrImNOADC
亦有人認為此舉會破壞生態平衡，奈何此方法只會滅殺埃及斑蚊，不會影響其他蚊子品種，其他物種可照樣進食其他蚊子品種代替，不見得有任何大影響。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1WaXKXwb0
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVNPapMtze
至於亦有人認為埃及斑蚊有機會因而大遷徙到第二區域，這點反而有著潛在的可能性，值得探討一下。

睇番一大輪資料後，發覺原來依篇文所寫的方法係佢哋用係巴西的方法，18個月之內係有成效，之後蚊子數量回升。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDs00sro1d
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z9PG9hkir
今次美國所用的方法係OX5034，同舊原理差唔多，但女性BB會死，而男性BB唔會。748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlWl3PAoMN
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ZMDpyEbQ
無睇到佢哋媒體資料，只係睇咗佢哋之前所發出的學術文章，所以資料有錯，對不起。
