Island Conservation is part of the GBIRd program <a href='https:\/\/www.geneticbiocontrol.org\/'target='_blank' rel='noopener'>(Genetic Biocontrol of Invasive Rodents)<\/a>, a partnership working to investigate the potential of gene drive approaches to control invasive rodents, with the goal of ultimately expanding conservationists\u2019 toolbox to reverse the impacts that invasive rodents have on islands, their terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and human communities.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wpex-align-middle\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-398x150.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-398x150.png 398w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-265x100.png 265w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-30x11.png 30w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-80x30.png 80w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-90x34.png 90w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-159x60.png 159w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-186x70.png 186w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-200x75.png 200w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-250x94.png 250w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-230x87.png 230w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-212x80.png 212w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular-239x90.png 239w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/island-conservation-logo-regular.png 480w\" width=\"398\" height=\"150\"><\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"id-4174 vcex-image-grid-entry vcex-grid-item wpex-text-center span_1_of_4 col  wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeIn fadeIn col-4\"><figure class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-figure wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr wpex-flex wpex-flex-col wpex-flex-grow wpex-justify-center\"><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img entry-media wpex-relative wpex-mb-20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/kemri-logo-png-scaled.png\" class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-link wpex-lightbox\" data-title=\"Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI)\" data-caption=\"The <a href='https:\/\/www.kemri.go.ke\/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Kenya Medical Research Institute<\/a> (KEMRI) is a State Corporation established in Kenya in 1979.

The underlying hypothesis inspiring this work is that the introduction and spread of genes that prevent mosquitoes from transmitting pathogens should, in theory, lead to reduced transmission of these pathogens resulting in reductions in human infections and\/or death. Gene drive is one of the key research areas, but team members are also investigating other strategies like sterile male and other self-limiting approaches, which could suit different situation and needs.
